i remember when.....

Do you remember something called "Calfresh" ANNE?. Used to get it in a tin and was supposed to be full of vitamins. You used a couple of spoonfuls to make a drink. That was back in the early sixties. Tasted a bit like fruit flavoured Andrews!

;D
 
Av some vague memory of this stuff Cazzer. Did it come in a small tin the colour of the flavour and looked a bit like kaylie? Loved those spearmint penny arrow bars best. mmmmmmm
 
That was the stuff.  :)

Do you remember Fennings powders? Came in a little wrapper?
Maybe they still do them don't know!
 
I used to give them my eldest daughter when she was teething.
Do you remember a sedative for teething infants. Brilliant! ! stuff called phenergan. Think you can still get it but not has strong. Nurse harveys. Not allowed to give them that any more. Used to catch Mick swigging it from the bottle. He used to pinch her choccy puddin and her rusks too.
One spoon for her and 6 for him. He was only testing it mind.  
 
Farleys rusks? they were yummy. and the gripe water, got a craving for that when pregnant with my third!

And "Biccy Pegs" the hard rusk things.
 
Rusks..Ahh yes:)

You'll have changed a lot of nappies then ???
 
forgot to add parma violets, purple and perfumed and my grandad used to bring home brittle hard liquorice sticks, short dumpy sticks he would spend ages cutting up for me, lovely
 
used t use them as chalk for hop scotch board. We are 30yrs married.  :o  :o Dont seem so long 4 grown up children two of each 2 boys 2 girls in that order and eight Grandchildren. Cost a bomb at Christmas.
Better a Gran than a mum though you can love them to bits have all the good bits and give them back. Nice to see them come and nice to see them go. They light up our life and keep me young.
 
Oh, Yes  5 Girls 4 boys.  Told them they arn`t rabits He He He  ;D ;D
Tried putting durex in their stocking once but they didn`t take hint.
I remember when sleepless nights were caused by crying babies and not hubby snoring and saying he`s NOT asleep when i wake him.
 
Me change nappies?  Did it once only.. well half did it.... Sorry I know your not going to like this... But thats womens work...

hehehe Bet thats put the cat amongst the pidgeons.

7 kids and never changed a nappy... dont know what i am missing you say?  gawd leave it out :)
 
i remember when Asda used to be on Blackburn road and it had a little ramp that we used to ride on the trolley coming out!
 
I went for a job at ASDA on blackburn rd ..Glynn Webb is there now... I was offered the job but it was what was then reffered to as "A closed shop"  Is that the expression?  nothing to do with being a shop... But it had a union and you had to join it... you couldn't work there unless you joined the union... I think the term was closed shop and that is now of course illegal...

Anyway even at that early age I had a distinct dislike for unions so I turned the job down...

I was living in Blackburn (for a short period) at the time so must be well over 20 years ago..
 
Yeah that's the term Harry :)

Anyone remember that place being Bleasdales Cars?

That's why the ramp was there, to get the cars down from the upper floor.

Was hard work on your own with a fully stacked trolley on that ramp, could easily go out of control ;D
 
We ad a bath in front of the fire on a friday night. Toast done on an open fire. mm nothing like it. My mouth is watering at the thought.
Do you remember playing on the big rock on the little park Harry. Also do you remember bugging the work men in Atwaters factory and that smell. Or hows about playing in the miley tunnel?
 
Tin bath and coal fire yes.. Too right..

Miley Tunnell. Blimey now ya have taken me back.. Not heard of that for donkeys... last I saw all nicely landscaped.
