Bath Oliver Biscuits.

The large arrowroot biscuits you used to buy in pubs ( my dog used to eat these)

Petite Beurre biscuits ( I think that is how you spell them.)

Everlasting strips from the sweet shop

the old fashioned ironmongers where you could find anything.

Saturday Morning Kids pictures ( showing my age 6d in old money, and a few pence for sweets)

Jubblies


Beer lollies


Cider lollies


Alley Gobs


Captain Hurricane getting into a 'raging fury' and bending and rending pieces of enemy hardware with his bare hands.


'Maggot' Malone. Cockney batman/first mate to the above. "Cor, chase me backwards up Big Ben", that's what he once said. Obviously not realising that Big Ben refers to the bell and not the tower. Naive or lazy ill-informed f@cker?

I bet Captain Hurricane would have had an opihion on the matter. A robust one I'm sure.


Tom Sharpe's ability to write anything funny - since Wilt.


OK then, The Wilt Alternative.


Gary Glitter records on pub juke boxes.


The Wimpy bar in Brixton. It's the Plan B club now and that's fine of course, but it doesn't do me much good when I fancy a cheap burger and chips that would be served on a plate with cutlery of metal and was brought to me at my table by friendly waiters tricked out in bow ties 'n' weskits.

Oh, but never mind me, I'm just being silly.

Blimey H'oochie, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, looks like Tom lost the will to live after your damning critique.

Is this in anyway linked to your psychic music divining business?

Do you take requests?

Don't supose you could put in a bad word against Jilly Cooper?...

Cripes, didn't think he'd take it so much to heart.

Seriously though I'm sorry he's no longer with us.


Just re-bought Indecent Exposure and Riotous Assembly from a charity shop over the weekend, funny, mad and crude satires of apartheid era South Africa.

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
