Under the Anchor Butter poster... Barton boast parking and bus trips...was there a depot there...long before Mount St? Seems to have been a petrol station, with posters on the wall. Note also the ".....Little John" restaurant on the left, which has been mentioned in another thread somewhere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maz1564 1 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Went there every Saturday without fail after getting usual bag of rainbow chalei as we called it, not sure if that's spelt right though, sherbot most people may call it Tube of paste and a straw to blow up your own bubbles. Fake poo. Fake blood was brilliant.. So many old wooden draws we never knew what to buy.. Fly in ice cube, fly on sugar, nail in finger, fake scars, could go on forever.. I'm 54 and would gladly go in now.. Can't beat a good laugh.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Do you remember the little books with saucy titles, and bound with something similar to baking foil. When it was left out on my desk, and the class creep opened it and got an electric shock, it was hilarious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember sherbet as being like a white fizzy powder that was in a sherbet dab/fountain or inside sherbet lemons. Kali was bigger crystals and came in different colours which the shopkeeper put in a little paper cone. We ate it by dipping our finger in then sucking it. I remember the Kali stained your finger! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,419 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I always understood it to be the same stuff except ones a powder. I may be wrong, it's over half a century since i last saw any... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 You're right, Brew... I'm sure it is made of the same - or similar - ingredients. The main difference I remember was that Kali had larger crystals and was available in bright colours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
