Thank you, think i will pass on that cuppa, but the temptation was really strong. Mum says coop had a tea called Unique just after the war, can't believe sometimes the things she can remember. Not always right but most of time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember in the mid 60s. I used to take a thermos of hot water and a tea bag or two to make tea when out on the road. So that must have been the time they hit the shops. I don't remember any before that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 You're right, I literally have just walked in! Used to go to The Alfreton Road coop for my mum when I was a child. I vividly remember seeing their own brand Normid washing up liquid on the shelves and cardboard delivery boxes with Normid printed on them. I always disliked the word because it reminded me of MORBID! I suppose it's a contraction of NORth MIDlands? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
