Do they still make the Ruffle  chocolate bar ?  Or the Rumba ? both favourites of mine as a nipper

Fry's chocolate bar with about 6 flavours all in one bar.  One piece, one flavor. 

Takes me back.  Sure I can remember buying these from a vending machine at the bottom of Pond Hill next to the big map which lit up certain roads / indicated business, when you pressed the corresponding button.

Bring back lumbago, impetigo, tin baths, lineament, outside lavvies, being ostracised for any small difference, rheumatic fever, having all your teeth out at 21, fiery jack, conscription, constipation, TB, Sunday best, firing squads, smallpox, RP, strong leadership, tar and feathering, Yorkshire salad, paying out your life savings for treatment for injuries sustained fighting for the King, common sense, going over the top, Ruffle bars of course and that lighting-up map, and an unswerving belief in the headteacher, bobby, doctor, dignitary, vicar, officer, and nobleman.

 

The past was just better in every way

It was Five Centres. Same number as Fry’s Five Boys.

Blancmange was a favourite,  you can still get chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, not sure about banana but my real favourite was caramel which I havn't seen around for years.
