Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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.
