Timbuck Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 What about "Chips" in the 50's you could buy chips at tuppence a bag ( sounds like a song from "My Fair Lady")..They were little half bag things that spilled out into the newspaper wrapping .. Nowadays you can only buy chips in the standard bag size...the other night i went to our local chippy and asked for a £1's worth of chips, and the assistant was "disconbooberated" she couldn't work that one out at all.

Caz1 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Originally posted by rosie Can anyone remember Spangles the sweets. I remember that there was two different kinds of Spangles, Old English Spangles but i can't remember what the other ones were called. Does anyone remember Mint Cracknell? My sisters boyfriend at the time used to buy us kids these so we would leave them alone for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
