    What is the point of the liquorice now, if you can't use it to suck up the sherbet? And what's with the mimsy plastic cap on it?

    The working men's club is alive, well and living in Penge.

    The girls at the secondary modern down the road wear minis which don't cover their crotches.

    Ben Sherman is still going.

    Campervans are hip.

    Council house milk ... now, that's a new one on me.

      I'm not sure, but I think it's an ad from the 1950's. Could possibly have been advertised in the cinemas before that :scratch:. We used to go to the Saturday Morning Flicks in those days :dbgrtmb:

        Then there was free bottles of concentrated orange juice that they brought out after the war.

        And 'Radio' Malt dished out in primary schools - bring your own teaspoon - was supposed to give you strength and stop you getting rickets.

        :heehee: I know a bloke who spends rather a lot of time there. Actually, it's really rather sweet. They look after each other and go on lots of trips out. It certainly beats the Rotary Club or Age Concern, if you ask me.

            I agree, WMC were a hub of a community, but sadly they're dying out like local shops, pubs and the likes. It's a wonder how people get to meet and get to know each these days, unless the've got kids or walk the dog!

                Health & Safety I reckon. It does take away the fun of trying to suck up the sherbet only to find it blocked, then you suck harder and suddenly a load goes straight down your throat and half chokes you. The plastic cap is to stop people taking a quick suck in the shop :eeew:
