jackson 301 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hi Mick, the PM problem is at Ashley's end; (in the nicest possible sense of course). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Paulus, thanks for the Google reference. You lived a little further up the lane from my grandma and granddad: they lived directly opposite the 'Aspley Medical Centre' - 'The Forum' back then - in a double at the back of the green railings. They had three gardens: one on the front, one on the side and a super, huge one at the back - they were both keen gardeners; I suppose you could say that I come from a Green Fingered Family !hand! me being a keen gardener myself - weather allowing. PS: apologise for this emoticon but the ones I usually use are not working - drat!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulus 541 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Our house is directly opposite the Medical centre, on the corner of the green, with the hexagonal side windows, I lived there from 1961 to 1969 the google shot has a big white van sitting in the drive, must have only been a couple of doors away from your gran's. Huge grassed side garden that I used to have to mow regularly!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I Love a banana sandwich with a cup of tea: the height of Haute Cuisine. PS: I'm remembering back to 'Domestic Science' lessons in the late 50's and our task was to prepare: sandwiches. A red haired girl, name of Gillian brought the ingredients to make banana and sultana sandwiches; we other girls laughed our socks off: "What sultanas with bananas! how simply Disgustin'"!! Anyway, the joke was on us because the Domestic Science teacher, Miss Read gave her full marks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Paulus, years back there was no lovelier long road, than that of Aspley Lane, especially when the cherry trees were in bloom. I recall the time of the 50's when we kids would walk from Aspley through to Radford Wood House with my grandma; she'd always point out 'The Seven Sisters' to us, which were a group of tall trees, which I should imagine at one time fronted Aspley Hall.

Paulus 541 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Seven sisters probably long gone.................yes Aspley lane had most things we kids needed, King Georges Park, shops, garage, Forum, more shops(including Co-op), Sally army hall, 2 churches, Beer-off on corner of Melbourne, allotments (pre-school) with 'scrumpin' opportunities, Players rec', & finally opposit the bottom there was my dad's 'local' the 'sheaf' , lined as you say with lovely blossom trees............

Malarkey 4 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Cheese and Marmite, Brie and cranberry or a tasty egg and mushroom lad for me. Aunty Mary often gave me Pobs for supper (Whaton ave). And Mum made the onion cucumber mix as part of Sunday tea (Maypole). Also, had the tinned fruit and thinly sliced brown bread and butter combi. For years I thought evaporated milk was cream. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Had a prawn crisp (not chips) buttie for a snack today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Compo's contemporary dictionary definition of crisp: Crisp (n) A thinly sliced piece of potato, fried in hot oil until golden and 'Crisp' - eaten when cold. Not to be confused with Chip (n) a finger shaped slice of potato, fried until golden and eaten with salt and vinegar whilst hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Wife and I often have crisp sandwiches for lunch, with a few extra ones scattered on the side. When we first came to oz, remember asking for crisps and getting a blank stare ! Oh you mean potato chips ! weird. And fritters (potato slices fried) are potato cakes ! wife went into a bakery in Melbourne many years ago and asked for half a doz cobs please, what ! was the reply, oh you mean rolls. As its nearly the festive season my good lady spoilt me yesterday and baked some home made sausage rolls, she bought the gourmet butchers cumberland sausage I mentioned earlier, stripped the skins off and put it in her own puff pastry. Yummy ! Also cheese and bacon puffs another favourite of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 3-4 grilled fish fingers, sliced or grated cheese and a sprinkling of pepper between two slices of buttered, fresh bread. Nearly as good as cheese and onion sandwiches or, sheese and tomato ketchup sandwiches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
