Reminising...Down Memory Lane.

It is a British tradition

to have a good moan.

Let alone stand in a long queue

at the supermarket,

getting into a club,

even to fill up your car

at the local service station

is a chore.

Alas, a good British Sunday Dinner

used to be the favourite meal

of that day!.  From roast potatoes,

Yorkshire Puddings, Meat and Vegetables

with loads of gravy. And a cup of tea

and biscuit later. And maybe also custard

with mixed fruit for a  dessert

later if you had room left to fill.

God, do I feel old, reminiscing about those

Sunday classic meal of that particular day.

Nowadays. I must admit. I love a good

chicken curry with rice and naan bread.

Yum Yum. Samosas and even an odd Donna

Kabab. Let alone the odd McDonalds

or a pizza.

Oh, how the times have changed.

Great varieties of foods. From many

a country and shops to choice or buy.

Or even sit in and eat.

Oh, my heaven. I am hungry

thinking about all these styles and

flavours of foods.

Do you remember the penny sweets? And the

bags of pre-weighted 50p sweets from

butterscotch, chewy strawberry bonbons,

to even Everton mints to name just a few.

Those were the days when I was young

I could not stop going to the sweet shop.

And starting at the jars of sweets in glass

jars. Like winning the lottery for me as

a child. Picking,  which one to have as I

get ready to go to school after the sweet

shop run.

Nice, my country's old life was completely different lol. I want to go to England, but probably never be able to go.

Still too early for breakfast, but I want custard and pear halves, or banana slices. Now im wondering what todays kids would make at nakers selling bags of broken biscuits. But dont feel too bad, I remember halfpenny trays of sweets, or if we were feeling exotic, a giant gummy snake. They'd probsbly be a quid each these days.
My personal fave was splicer bars, they were like a massive stripy bar of opal fruits....NOT STARBURST :)
Ps...im laughing at any Americanese reading thid wondering what we're talking about. To them I say sorry.....AND MAROTHON, NOT SNICKERS :)
