80's ?? That's modern for some of us !!!!

Can you still get those pub packets of crackers, fake dairylea and a pickled onion too ?  What about the cockle sellers on a Fri/Sat night?

There's no pubs left Wash  Doh and even if there were any the Health & Safety fascists would have had the cockle sellers shot at dawn a long time ago  Sad

my mum keeps telling me stories about cockle sellers. Can't imagine they'd be popular nowadays.

I can't stand cockles or mussles Sick

It was scary when you think about it, they used to walk into the pub I worked in with a tray of open polystyrene cups on it with cockles or mussels in them soaked in vinegar!! There was no way of knowing where the hell they came from or how long he had been trying to sell them!!! Yet people always bought them!!

My Nannan apparently drank the leftover vinegar Sick

What a strange concept cockle sellers are Laugh

Loved them with plenty of vinegar and a pint er stoonzes. Liked whelks too.

there's not much that I don't like food wise but mussels, cockles and whelks are things that I cant stomach at all. Think it's the texture, like chewing on one of them little tyres out of a box of lego

We are made of sterner stuff than the play station generation  Thumb up There's nowt like playing out as a kid and ingesting all the dirt and grime that goes with it to ward off "intolerance's" in later life  Thumb up  The PS generation have lived a sanitised life and have no immune system  Doh

Bring on the whelks  Thumb up

and the Stones'  Whistle but not the Wards  Angry


RE: thread to talk about anything but sport/football - St Charles Owl - 21-05-2015
