Oh nooo..the poached haddock in milk..one of my mum’s culinary delights..it always gave me the boak. Potted meat..mince n tatties..yugh! I loved going to my grannies for a stick of rhubarb to dip in a poke of sugar Getting my new roller skates and going straight out to the nearest steep hill and flying into the back of a car. Old school desks with ‘the mods and the rockers’ carved into the top..inkwells and fountain pens..when 70% was a lousy mark for maths. Sneaking off to school in my big sister’s new dress and trying to pass it off as a maxi,,but the arm-holes at my waist giving it away..getting it ripped and getting walloped when I got home. Listening to music on a radiogram..very swish. My best mate getting a tiny-tears doll and a new record-player and a monkees album..I got a Tressy doll and an etch-a-sketch and my dad stood on it on New Year’s Eve. Me and me little brother pelting each other with our Christmas stockings till they turned into mashed tangerines at the toes..chicken for Christmas dinner before turkey became fashionable. Eee it were grim :lol:
Shazza..the ginger beer and icecream..I just knew these as ice-cream lemonades..or limeade which was my favourite..
