Shaun,after much searching I have located the wrappers . However attempts to put them on the site have failed as it points out that it will not accept the scanned items . I tried the miscellaneous section but no luck . Wonder what I am doing wrong?

I'd pop round and have a look, Mike, but I'm a little pressed for time.
My only thought is that, if your scanner store the images as pdf files, maybe the website doesn't recognise them.
Some tech whizz kid could, I'm sure, be of more assistance - maybe Doug?

Well I managed one but was refused the second as the file name was already used although it was a different number . Will try tomorrow ,it may have forgotten by then !!

Wasn't there a bloke called Wilson in, maybe, the Wizard who was a wonder guy for stamina etc? I took Wizard and Hotspur and swapped with a mate for the Rover and Adventure. One of his comics had a series of stories headed "I flew for the Fuhrer." Before that it was Dan Dare in the Eagle?

Fry's chocolate cream was a favourite. I seem to remember also asking for a six square bar with different flavours when the rep was in the sweet shop. They were out of stock and the rep said he'd send one. I haunted that shop until I finally got it. Later I preferred the mint cream version in a green wrapper rather than dark blue?

They're still going strong.

A Bloke indeed. My super- man in the 1940's. For a full profile go to Google and type in " Wilson the Wonder Athlete" he has a full Wikipedia profile It gives a good idea of the story line . Not only that he was from Yorkshire , I only found that out today.

Thanks for that, Mike: I'll check the Wiki entry: but in the meantime, didn't Wilson lie down and store up sleep in his spare moments? And didn't he wear a black vest all the time which maybe served as a shirt?

Mint yoyos anybody? And chocolate teacakes? Nowt to do with bread.

Has no one remembered the Eagle comic? Dan Dare, an early spaceman? Or is it a figment.....?

I believe, in maybe the Rover, a serial, "I flew for the Fuhrer."

Them w'days.

Popalol. anybody?

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1953-58

Popalol . Now you’re talking. Your recipe?

Popalol: complicated recipe. Black spanish from sweetshop. Not to be confused with Liquorice. Cut up to get it into a hopefully clean empty pop bottle and shake vigorously. Keep shaking until you can detect any taste in the mixture. In retrospect, warm water may have been better.

Yes, it had to be a ha'penny spanish. They were little hard and brittle and ideal for making popalol.
The penny spanish was soft, flexible and much larger. "Foreigners" called it liquorice.
Anyone know why we used the name "spanish"?

Apparently because Spanish monks brought a liquorice tree to Rievaulx Abbey....

I've never met anyone from outside the Keighley area who called it spanish. So our ancestors in Keighley were very knowledgeable.

On the origins of phrases..’mash t’tea’...where does that come from? In Fife they say ‘mask’ tea. Asking for a friend.

I believe it has its origins in ale brewing terms.

Brummies talk about brewing the tea. So it looks like mashing must be an old Yorkshire word for brewing.

Let's have a brew, as the two Lancashire folk I know, say.

From my ancient memory of home beer brewing, the wort is placed in the mash tun [bucket in my case] at approx 150 F and Brewer's yeast* added. It forms a thick crust on the surface initially then sinks to the bottom as fermentation progresses, the yeast converting the sugars to Co2 and alcohol. The yeast forms a thick layer on the bottom so I siphoned beer off into a clean bucket before bottling.

CAREFUL: if the beer is bottled before it is almost finished fermenting, the bottles explode, as I once found out. It's safer to use a hydrometer.

I also found home brew had a tang I didn't like though I bought a book, "Brewing Beer Like Those You Buy." Can't remember much about result but I stopped brewing soon after.

* Brewers yeast I got from bottled conditioned beer such as Guinness or a Pale Ale {Red Label or White Shield} and collecting drega.
