Yes I did that too. I remember also being sent to the shops with 2 glass juice (pop to some of you) bottles.
My kids would run away in shame now if I gave them a wee bowl and a juice bottle to the ice cream man, and told them to remember the change!

Crap...And i thought they looked lovely

I'll have a look for a new Valentine one

Brilliant.....my aunt had 6 kids and on a Friday night all the kids went to the chippy, she used to tell them to ask the chip shop owner for plenty of chips because they were hungry

Can you imagine doing that now??

I remember the national anthem and the white dot. Who remembers Radio Luxembourg and the creepy dwarf woman from poltergeist quoting "There Heeere!" Also the tampon ads.....

Used to ask for the crispy bits as they were free it was the batter bits remember those

lol....now you come to mention it, yes

They were called scraps where we lived.

loved them when i was a kid

In Scotland remember Red cola? went really well with a chippy fish supper. - Stovies made with Corned beef - that stuff was really dog food eh? but it tasted great
Also,

Steptoe and Son, mint cracknell bar, strawberry bon bons, Champion the Wonderhorse, Brotherhood of Man, Dollar, Slade, Mud, Showaddywaddy,(How crap were they?) Wizzard.

Jimmy Saville - "It's Thursday, it's 7.30pm, so it must be Top Of The Pops" !!!!!!!!!!!! audience dancing with their "box" handbags round their wrists.

The Likely ladsnot the re-run version, but the original

The Liver birds, Please Sir and the Fenn Sreet Kids. The Tomorrow People........

Come to the light Mary Anne Come to the light Mary Anne

I am heading back to Edinburgh in a couple of weeks and me and the misses will ensure that we get the red Cola and the Pineapple juice from a glass bottle at the chippy (yum yum)

Wish it were me going home Which part of Edinburgh and more importantly, which chippy?????

Dalkieth chippy, the one in Mayfield isnt that good now. Going back for a couple of days so we might even get ice cream from Musselburgh, cant remember the name but its the best ice cream I have ever tasted, very famous.
Also I will be going to the Emigration show in Edinburgh (not with my chippy and juice! dont know who might try to nick it)
