Lemon puffs, bloody love 'em buy can't buy them for love nor money.

We found a Tesco over 40 miles away that stocked them so i bought a few packs every time i passed. Step daughter used to get me them also but Diagnosed as Coeliac killed them off for me.

I know what happened to one of them. James Bolam lives in Wisborough Green and I see him going shopping quite often. He used to go in the bathroom/tile shop for a chin wag and to blag a cuppa until the shop changed hands. Saw him with his missus (Susan Jameson) a couple of times but haven't seen her for ages. Mind yew, they are both 89.

... Lion's Midget Gems (though I am not sure you can call them "midget" anymore)
Cotter pins for bicycle cranks - most of my youth was wasted trying to fit those
Remington Buttoneer and Fuz-a-way
Fat Bikes
Manners
The Shakesperos?

I dunno about Lions (Lyons?) Midget Gems but you can certainly get Maynards ones, and I'm sure I've see Asda / Tesco ones.
Cotter pins for bicycle cranks are best left burning in a fiery hell along with all crank assemblies that involve loose bearing and finesse adjustment (See also Sturmey Archer 3-speed gears)

Lions MIdget Gems were made in a small factory in Cleckheaton. Very formal, very correct - and you were always refered to as "Mr ..." . And served tea in China cups.
They made gums with the hardest gel strength in the world. They were utimately bought by Cadbury

Must be a regional thing I spose as I was very familiar with sweetie shops as a youngster and those ones would have very much been on my list.

Yeah, that's literally the end of civilisation as we know it.

.....white dog shit?

Caused by undernourished dogs. Now they all get fed proper and not on just salt laden scraps

Not as old as Yorrick

Screw caps you could take off a bottle, I create more plastic waste pulling the new ones off than I ever did with a good old fashioned removeable ones.

Only just noticed these recently, yeah shite aren't they.
