"When your favourite sweet from the van was a golden cup.
Or your maw would send you out with a bowl for four scoops of ice cream to make ice drinks. "
Ooh golden cups! I'd do things for one of those!
Like wash dishes or something |

We're obviously talking about the wee bars here.
Nestle secret bars, Cadbury spira's, when caramel freddos were taz bars. Or when chewy penny cola bottles were thin and not that chubby haribo shite.
The world today is shite. That's it I'm leaving. |

Bus fare to the BB? I had to walk 3 miles each way in the dark. (No street lights in farmers fields!). Still got money for collection and a quarter of wine gums though. |

When you remember when wellies came in one colour. Black. 
...and your mother used to cut the toes out of your gym shoes so you'd get extra wear out of them. God, the abuse!!!  |
