Memories of Childhood 'Snacks'

[The Butcher]

Tangy toms

 

[Botchie]

When i was a youngun, if i wanted something extra, it'd be a slice of white cheapo bread that i had to wrestle a rat for, butter ( stork margarine ) it, then sprinkle sugar all over it, fold it in half and chomp away on that. Its probably why i only have half of my own teeth right now. The rest got knocked out wrestling the rat.
Parts of that story may be made up.

The rat would have made a decent meal.

[Son of Stan]

Abc letters. And bovril crisps. My love of both got me into strife as I had purposely 'missed' the school bus one day. Stupidly I went on the travelling van that we used to have to buy both and was spotted by a nosey neighbour who reported back to my Mother.

Loved the red ones - Jungle Fever or something like that? Much better than those icy polish immigrants.

As a kid, I remember impressing this blonde lass by offering her a sherbert strawberry - I always looked after the ladies well.
