Things that you dont see much anymore

Spangles- cracking orangey boiled sweets, a bit like Tunes cough sweets only much nicer. (I'm sure Stephen will remember these!)

Pacers - The minty version of Opal Fruits (See above!!)

Bottles of pop that you got 5p/10p back as a deposit on the bottle (they should bring that back on 'eco-friendly' grounds!).

Embassy No.6, Embassy Filter and Woodbine cigarettes (aaah, the drugs of my youth)

Lilt - It's still about but much lower profile these days.

Ford Escorts.

Mini Metro's.

Stitches (weird one I know, but these days A&E depts. either glue or staple people's scalps back together)

Amusement arcades with mostly video games in them.
