Latchford Locks Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I was looking for a few things in Sainsburys today when up into my head popped the question.. Why don't bakeries produce Thick and Thin loaves nowadays I think one brand name was a Twinnie and another was The 50/50 Loaf. Maybe a ploy to get us to buy two loaves instead ??? For single folk they used to be ideal Anyone got anything they want but can't buy anymore ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Strange you should say that latch, whist clearing mums house out last week i came across a green shield stamp catalogue in nearly new condition. Wondering now if it went in the bin and if it might be worth a few bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeborn John Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I used to love the smell of Carbolic Soap is that strange I saw some Wrights Coal Tar soap in Wilkos and had to have some. After getting it home and reading the box, I found it contains none of the original ingredients and it's made in Turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a surprise Colmans mustard nowadays tastes so very different it's bland and tasteless as well, guess in both cases our EU friends have demanded certain ingredients be removed to protect us humph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeborn John Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Another upset was when Cadbury relaunched their iconic 60s Aztec Bar for the millennium, I rushed home, tore the wrapper off and...it was vile.
