Poodles made out of Woodbine packets on window sills.....made out of Senior Service packets in posh areas!

Early 1960's?

I remember those things and stopping at the tobacconist next door to the chippy and getting a loosie and a match for tuppence.

I remember making tanks with fag packets. Not the flip-top kind.

Buying cigarettes in packages of five.

The very first plastic flower I'd ever seen - tulips given away with Omo or Daz? Everyone had a vase of them in the window - the soap powder was flying off the shelves just to get a bunch!

There's a tale about this too. The washing powder company were trying to introduce their powder to some part of Africa - but the locals weren't interested...so they reversed the deal, selling the tulips and giving the powder free. It worked apparently too!

My Mum told me a story about her neighbour, who used to put the box of washing powder in the window to let her lover know that her husband wasn't at home .....OMO....Old Man Out!!!

Big container of sweets behind the shop counter, and getting 1/4lb of Hard Gums in a paper bag. Also getting the empty containers to put our cereal in at home.
