I remember a huge supply at home, of NHS concentrated orange juice and also cod liver oil. Both in old style medicine bottles. Loved them both.

If I now take a healthy swig of cod liver oil from a bottle, the wife runs out of the room shrieking "disgusting". She does the same when I slurp up the liquid gelatin from a tin of Pek chopped ham, or eat a slice of bread and dripping with the brown jelly and salt. She does not understand why I go out of my way to buy bacon (or other meats) with lots of fat,mbecause that is where the flavour is; NOT in the flesh. She is a decade younger than me and just does not know what is good for her.

Long Black cigarette holders with diamante around the end.

In the 1970s, everyone in my family smoked. Me included. I have visions of Myself, Sisters, Mam, and all of the aunties "Done up to the nines" chuffing on our "Parkies" tucked into the end of one of these cigarette holders. A sight to behold!!!
