Re: Dietary preferences

every Thursday it was always Polony and Chips. She sent me to Cunnigham's Fish shop on
Victoria Road for a few penneth o' curly chips. It were reight grand.

Re: Dietary preferences

Jam Roly-Poly, treacle sponge, spotty dick, apple crumble and other such health foods were a real treat.

Re: Dietary preferences

I had a mate who would go into the greengrocer's and ask for damaged fruit: they had a box near the floor containing rejects.

We also had a lad in the village who would beg the core when he saw a kid eating an apple. I never knew if his dad worked or not.

Gilbert Swift also told us that we should wear clean socks each day; if we couldn't manage that, we should wear a pair alternate days. Unbelievable today?

No wonder he wanted you to wear clean socks . I would know where I was blindfolded and taken into the Gym. He must have noticed
