Just been to the local corner shop....

[craft1948]

...for some bread and milk. I'm standing in the queue to pay and a young mother comes in with her child who I'd say was about 4 years old.

Mother - Do you want a hot sausage roll?
Child - No
Mother - Well do you want a cornish pastie or a cheese and onion one?
Child - No I don't want any of those
Mother - Look you have to have something for your DINNER!! ...Oh go on then, just pick some sweets!!

W t f..........

[pericat]

Thanks craft - new idea for dinner - smartie bolognaise or smartie strogonoff ?

[LoftyLottie]

Or curried chocolate raisins! ;o)

[rahondo]

Beef dripping? I much prefer the dripping that comes out between the meat curtains!

[smudge]

BOO - you are as honest as the day is long & I love ya for it. -x-

Lottie - sugar &/or condensed milk sandwiches! Bread & dripping - loved it! But we also had a jug of green water on the table to wash down the Sunday roast - very healthy!

[annie0000]

What's "green water"???

[LoftyLottie]

Smudge. Enlighten us. Green Water? Do you mean the water that the cabbage was cooked in ;o(

[smudge]

lol, it was either cabbage water, or green water from greens! ;o}

[smudge]

We also used to make up 'lemonade' with sherbert & water! Those were the days! ;o}

[boxtops]

Can you still get those disgusting Spaceships with sherbet inside? The sherbet was lovely but the casings were rubbish, stuck to the roof of your mouth!

[gonzo00]

ideal dinner for the kids...family size bag of revels each...let's see...you've got your rasins,peanuts,orange flavour...i'd say thats a great start towards thier five a day!!!

[craft1948]

yeuch I remember those boxtops....flying saucers. My favourite was Rainbow Crystals and the sherbert you used to suck through a piece of liquorice and if you sucked too much you choked............

[smudge]

Ha, ha, boxtop. Yes, I have seen them in the shops. I used to love them, but they melted too quickly & stuck to the top of my mouth too!

[smudge]

Yeah craft, we all knew Sherbet Fountains would make us choke, but we still bought them!

[annie0000]

I've got a big bag of those plastic tube things with the sherbet inside in my kitchen if anyone fancies one?

[boxtops]

annie, is that annie who disappeared earlier on this evening...? yes please, black lips and sherbet up my nose would just finish the day off right for me!

[annie0000]

Nope, not annie the troll, I've been here for years!!! - no black lips i'm afraid boxtops - there is no licorice - just a plastic tube filled with sherbet of various colours. Guess I could use it as a topping for the M&Ms the kids are having for dinner tomorrow ;0)

[boxtops]

Oops, sorry annie, identity crisis, my mistake! Wot no licorice? - I'd have thought a plastic straw was more risky than the old lico tube (bleah, I can taste it now!). You could use it instead of sweetener in your tea, fizzy PG, yum!

[smudge]

Oh, yes please annie. They're the ones with the sort of sherbert in, that we made our lemonade with!
