Certainly don't see Kunzle Cakes any more. They seemed to disappear in the late 1970s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Didn't know you could get Tim's coffee there Ian. Closest place to here is a Tim Horton's in Kentucky. We order it from Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Loppy, you old hound!...what a great idea..never thought of ordering it...duh!! I am often a slate short.... Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 #3734 Doughnuts, donuts...however you spell it, I shouldn't be eating em, Loppy. Putting too much weight on. Don't have them very often and they are nicer than soggy brandy snap! Noticed that Morrison's are now packing their doughnuts in a box emblazoned with the union flag, as opposed to calling it the union Jack. My daddy always taught me it could only be called a union jack when flown aboard ship. I don't know whether that's true but it made to difference at all to the amount of calories in the custard filled doughnuts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Better not visit Canada then, Jill. There is a Tim Hortons donut shop on just about every corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 #3740 I'm pretty good at resisting temptation but I have to give in now and again or I'll become a bit too saintly for my own good. Visiting Morrison's when they've just taken a batch of loaves out of the ovens and they're all warm and squishy is too much for me and I go a bit mad with throwing it all in the trolley. I resisted the cheese scones and the chocolate chip cookies though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Was in the Co-op the other day and was offered a massive block of Cadbury's Milk Tray ( £3.99) for £2. i immediately snapped NO, then no again, then mmmmmm then finally YES !

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 It was actually just a block of Milk Chocolate, but I like your style Jill ( I never fancied him though) LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 #3746 I liked the ad for I think it was Terry's All Gold. When the lid was removed, half the contents was jewellery! I remember being very disappointed when my mother got a box for Christmas in the early 60s and all it contained was chocolates. The power of advertising, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Don't get me on advertising. Bleddy Corden doing car insurance ones. "Me Greenlight" . I'd give him greenlight the smirking tw4t. I'd gleefully take a baseball bat to him ! Then the hot pants wearing twerps on the other insurance one. Uggggggggh Talking of gold and jewellery, I quite like the perfume one where Charlize Theron rips of her pearls etc, and climbs up to rope to the ceiling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 #3741. Jill you bought back a great memory with this post. A good few years back we were coming back down the Llangollen canal just after daybreak, my mate and I were operating the boat and the ladies were still in their beds. As we neared a small town you could smell it on the breeze.............freshly baked bread, we had our cups of tea but the smell was just to much. As we rounded a corner we saw the back of a bakery, we moored up and five minutes later it was crusty bread that warm the butter melted into it and some lovely warm cakes too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 #3750 Sounds good NBL. Sometimes I think I could live on bread and cheese, peasant that I am! You can keep your fancy nouvelle cuisine. A good bottle of red never goes amiss though! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Nouvelle cuisine 'all plate no food'. Not a big wine man but do enjoy a glass of good port with a good cheese. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Re #3745..... Good news for you Jill, the Milk Tray advert has returned with a new SAS man. Just seen it on CH4. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim in the North East 200 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Smith's Crisps packets with the salt contained Ina twist of blue paper that you opened up and shook into the packet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Tim #3753: Do you recall that sometime during the mid-1960s they replaced the blue twists with a blue rectangular sealed packet of salt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 When we came to Nottm for our meetup on the 12th, we left the hotel for a stroll along the the shops across Mansfield Rd, and as we passed the pub called "The New Carrington", we heard a commotion coming from the car park at the side. We hesitated to see what was happening (as you do). It was just like watching an old fisty cuffs film. A small group had congregated around two middle aged men who, both had fists up in the air, taking random swipes at each other, moving backwards and forwards in fencing motion. Not a pretty sight and two of the audience were young teenagers, probably the sons of one of the fighters! What a lesson for the future. I suppose the only good thing was that there didn't appear to be weapons involved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
