Plain fish and chips is a bit carb-deficient so it makes perfect sense really :-)

We also used to fire cocktail sticks through straws at party's and we can forget the blancmange rabbit with jelly green grass around it


Sounds like our parties were very similar. Currently going through dad’s slide photos, so hoping some evidence will come to light :)

Still don’t like muckdonald’s. Wimpy were OK, but Watford had an early Wendy’s AND a Burger King , which were much better.

I was always jealous of those whose families stopped at Little Chef or Happy eater on long journeys. For us it was always sandwiches and flask tea in a layby somewhere.

Little chef became a sunday treat once we had car/bike licenses and wages to pay for it - olympic breakfasts and enourmous thick pancakes :)

I used to love the curly Wimpy sausages, until I got one with a piece of glass in it. I can’t have been very old, was told not to make a fuss!

If you brave the queues and sit in at the Anstruther Fish Bar, you get bread and butter with your fish supper. 13/10. Would thoroughly recommend.

I guess that lettuce used to be bitter and has now been bred out so post rationing it was a treat to have sugar so it was put on anything.
