fish finger butties ... A dream. That could be a whole new thread !

add my vote to that! one of the downsides of the kids growing up is there are less fish fingers in the shopping!

I've been waiting days for this... Captain Pedant needs to re-read his 'The difference between 'less' and 'fewer'' chapter in his Pedant's Handbook.

I was referring to the fingers made from the little-known "less" fish!

Cabana. Anyone remember it? It had coconut and cherries in it and was sweet enough to disolve your skull.

Yep can remember that and seemed to love it not sure why can't stand coconut or cherries.

Fags; with red tips so it's really like a cigarette.

They changed to fads without the red tip and now I think they are gone.

They were a bit like a posh bounty. My Gran used to get me one on a Saturday when I visited with my Dad

Funny, but I too have always disliked any form of coconut. Hated the stuff from days when icing on sandwich cakes used to have it around the edges, yet a dark chocolate Bounty was always the exception to the rule.

As a kid I'd eat any form of chocolate or sweets. But now I wouldn't eat a bounty if you paid me. I was a very lucky kid as my parents owned a corner shop. Needless to say I vetted the stock we carried and got loads of free samples from the sweet salesmen. I also used to make all the jubblies in summer. I used to drink the syrup and spend the rest of the day running to the loo...happy days
