WAGON Wheels like dustbin lids and NO! it wasn't just because your hand was smaller. Golden Jamaica coconut baccy was the the most fantastic sweet ever, bang on Nemo... For the grown ups, there was this thing called a NUTTY bar, a solid truncheon of fudge, covered on the outside with peanuts... Lord Toffingham lollies had a soft toffee centre, and 'count draculas' had a blood red jelly centre. I knew a girl who'd do anything for a double decker (the chocolate bar, dumkopf! Not one of the kids from the BBC kids series). She was very popular. Funny feet, anyone? Amazin bars ("It's amazin wot raisins can do...full of goodness and it's all for you...) anyone? Aztec bars? Fussels milk sandwiches?? God ! we had healthy childhoods, didn't we? Where was Jamie Oliver then? And school dinners...Jam roly poly pudding with custard!

I wasn't even a twinkle!, mind you, the first telly i remember was probably a fifties model... was about the size of a bungalow with a four inch b&w screen. The screen was SO small, that when they showed 'snow white and the seven dwarfs' at Christmas we only got to see dopey and the castle damp course... Lauren, it wasn't the PENGUINS, it was the PINGUINS (or maybe 'pingwings') it was an Oliver Post stop frame thing with little knitted penguins chasing all over a field... you couldn't see them: just the grass moving. They were always going to get milk from the farmers cow with a little tin bucket. Can't imagine what penguins did with cows milk? Pilchard yoghurt maybe? Type pinguins in the search engine - I've been spreading the word on this for AGES Never rated c'pn pugwash, I'm afraid (and seaman staines is a myth!) - i was more of an Ivor/Noggin fan, but my real faves were Secret Squirrel (pronounced 'squirl' in americanese)/Squiddly Diddly/Atom Ant/Deputy Dawg era (what happen?what happen?
