grinder Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Remember Pre tea bag days, when we used to to take a "mashin" to work ? A mix of tea and sugar screwed up in a page of The Star. I had a Mashing can back then, an enamel jug with a cup lid, (anyone remember their real name ? ) but graduated to a pint pot. kept a tin of nestles milk (sticky milk ) with two holes in the top in my locker, and had some happy times trying to sink the logs floating on the top of my mug of tea as I poured it in.. A where a r8 Pob eead. Edited August 14, 2012 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And,amazingly,I've lived to tell about it! I agree Shane, and I also remember when we were kids, we went out took one bottle of pop or summat, and shock horror we "shared" it between us. We ate our lunch with dirty hands & we never got ill or died, we'd always come home "loppy" & mum would always say where you bin darn t'pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
