The Jubblee Thread

I have been away an' that, from the board and I spotted an old thread about Jubblees. (or Jubblies or whatever)

Anyway and anyroad up like: Dipton Collierly County Junior Mixed and Infant School had a Jubblie factory next door. My mate Dennis Cowans Dad was the manager and we got freebies when we went to play with him at his house next to a big field along the "tops" between Lilly Gardens and the top of the Co-op bank at Dipton. Dennis Cowan wanked a horse once and so I stopped playing with him. I didn't tell me Mam but.

We had outside netties at the school just next to where I got me head caught in the railings (SIX TIMES!!!) and we used to hang around outside them playing montakitty and leavio and that... the lads in the Jubblie factory used to throw them over the wall for us. But I remembered that Dennis Cowans Dad got annoyed once cos he knew they pissed in them instead of putting orange juice in them and it was a waste of resources - although he probably didn't say "resources".

John Hepburn and Stephen Paley were the only ones daft enough to try and drink it. John Hepburn liked Benny Hill and had all his records. Stephen Paley became a policeman.

Jubblies were orange lollies without sticks and tetrahedrally shaped.
You cut one of the sealed edges (rather than the folded edges) and sucked the Jubbly. As it melted, the decreasing bulk of the Jubbly could be pushed up through the hole for sucking. You were always left with some wickedly strong ice cold orange juice at the end. (If you had one that wasn't frozen, all you got was wickedly strong orange juice anyway.)
Mind I have to say that as they thawed, they seemed to smell of piss. Never worked out why ...

LMAO

My colleagues are now staring at me rather strangely (more so than usual). How did I miss this one?

Recall "Hopey" at our primary filling a load of jubbly pots with ditch water from when they were digging up the playground. And yes, I was one of the daft twats that drunk it. Always remember being called into the headmistresses office about 1 hour later and being given a cup of water, for all the use it did.

I've never forgotten Cockney Mackem's Dad when the latter was a teenager, I was about 8 or 9 and he went off to play with his bestest mate, and cos I pestered, me Mam told him to take me with him and let me play with them.
They were neither of them impressed at being stuck with the snotty-nosed me, but I didn't realise, so I wasn't at all suspicious when they asked us if I wanted a drink of Dandelion and Burdock. (Coke? WTF was Coke? Coke was what posh people burnt on their fires, man. Dandelion and Burdock was IT!)
So yes, I accepted the drink of D&B and downed it one. Except the twats had given [swearing] me a glass of malt vinegar.
As Graham Turnipheed might say, "Did I not like THAT?"

LOL

I'm afraid, I've also done that. At me parents, they used to keep the Sykes pop in the cupboard under the stairs. The cola was virtually identical to the "Villa Vin" next to it. Bwaff!
