MargieH 7,599 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 #3035. I had a metal hoop with a stick which was part of the whole thing - the stick had a loop and the hoop went through it. I remember it was red and the paint soon started to come off. It DIDN'T have tyres so obviously I wasn't posh enough, Benjamin!! I do remember it was noisy.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,139 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 In the 60s when i worked at Marsdens lol. Spry and Trex were about 2/6 for 1/2 lb packet,Cookeen about 2 bob,but you could still buy LB (POUND) of loose Lard for 1/3,............in fact an almost permanent offer was 2LB Sugar and a LB of Lard 2/6.

DJBrenton 738 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'd like at this stage to reassure you all that white dog poo is still alive and well. We feed our dogs on a raw diet which has the right amount of bone in. Whenever we then give any of them a whole bone too, we get good old fashioned chalky white out of the other end. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
