I knew this would turn into a trip down crisp memory lane but at least we all agree Walkers are average to poor.


Anyway I reckon crisp spotting for rare yet still available brands is a worthy past time. Often the most off piste newsagent is a treasure trove. If so post your rare findings here.

If you like rare finds of the crisp variety, then a trip to the newsagent in Dulwich Village will not disappoint. They sold ready salted Smith's Chipsticks not so long ago. Not seen them anywhere else in many years.


I also quite like Space Raiders, against Mr L's better judgement!


Also, not a fan of Walkers. OK with a sandwich, but they try to disguise themselves as a heritage brand when in fact, they've been part of PepsiCo for years, which pretty much wiped out Tudor and Smith's.


Louisa.

Dovertheroad - I was hoping the venerable HonaloochieB would come back to post on this thread to provide expert and humorous analysis of just how inferior Walkers crisps are


Was it quids who said Golden Wonder not as good as Walkers? Madness. (Shakes head).

GW FAR superior and still going strong in Scotland. Recently tried their haggis flavour - perfect. Mackies crisps also Scottish brought out a haggis & cracked black pepper flavour (rolls eyes). Nowhere near as good as GW plus everyone knows it's white pepper with haggis. Pickled onion & Worcestershire sauce are available too.


Interested to hear if Discos salt & VIOLENTKY vinegar are still around. There used to be EXTREME vinegar flavour in separate sachets but can't remember brand, anyway I digress.

OMG, can someone report whether they still do the ready salted chipsticks? If so I'll mke a special trip. I miss those things! Everywhere does the Salt & Vinigar, but they're just not the same.

No




Freaking




Way!!!




It just can't be.

That's the problem with these internet rumours. Once they're out there, someone is always going to accept them as truth, and in the future, some poor sap will believe that shit.


Even though I know the truth, I feel that my relationship with Monster Munch has been damaged, and I'll always have that shadow of doubt in the back of my mind.


Once the trust has gone...

This work has the hand of Putin written all over it. The Russkis are clearly trying to undermine the very fabric of our nation. They can take our lives, but they will never take our Monster Munch!...

Yep.


I also used a nik nak as a club for a mini Captain Caveman I once knocked up.

If you're going to believe that someone is really called Pamela Crump...I'm seeking counselling for crisp based confusion.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
