PopT Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Back in the 50's I remember 'Old Wadgy' the headmaster of the Central Technical School standing before the morning assembly and denouncing the eating of "Sweetmeats" on the school premises. Happy Days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopT Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Mrs Taylor one our neighbours baked large oven bottom cakes to feed her lads. Those lads never had so many pals as soon as the cakes were stood edgeways up to cool on the window cill. All the kids knew she would test them out by cutting one up into strips and handing everybody a piece. Sometimes it would be 'Marge and homemade jam but the best is when she coated the piecs with a generous coating of pork dripping. The fresh cakes were always warm and the dripping melted into the holes in the cakes. If God made anything better then he kept it for himself. Happy Days!!

mojoworking Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Originally posted by Timbuck Can anyone remember "The Joystick" a frozen triagular lolly in a waxed paper tube.... Weren't they also called Jubblies? Nothing to do with Del Boy and his Lubbly Jubbly, but orange juice in a triangular-shaped carton. The sweet shops would freeze them and they lasted for hours as we sucked them through one corner of the triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh what a delicacy. I know exactly what you mean. I still crave a slice of bread & dripping sometimes. But my wife won't even save the dripping when we have a sunday roast. It's straight in the bin before you can say "heart attack" and then I get a lecture about heathly eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzbuz Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 were these later on re names as sun lollies or something like this in a yellow triangle cardbord thing with an orange smiley face on it??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbuck Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 No Jubblies were different...... These looked like a Tobrerone shape in a cardboard waxed tube, open both ends, and they had a dotted line across the middle so they could be cut in half & and you could buy half a lolly for a penny. I remember Concord Park littered with pieces of these cardboad tubes after the grass cutter had minced them. ( it was over 50 years ago mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffy Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Which company made jubblies? I remember them but didn't have too many cos you really had to be thirsty to get through them I thought. Gob-stopper of the ices or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairyNormal Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Does anyone remember those bubblies called either Gold Dust or Golden Nuggets? (can't remember exact name) They came in a small cloth drawstring bag and were little bits of bright yellow bubbly. The bag may have had a cowboy or prospector or something similar on it in brown I think. Me and my brothers loved them and used the little bags for keeping alsorts of stuff in afterwards!
