handsofclay Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 The woman from Bristol who in the late 1970s or very early 80s was allergic to the 20th century and her friends collected money so she could go to LA for treatment but when she got there they found out they were about 8 hours BEHIND us in California so there was still more of the 20th century to go over there than there had been in Bristol. I'm not sure of this but think she made a total recovery on Jan 1st 2000 and swapped LA for Blackpool via Bristol again but I think she died in about 2007 after accidentally watching the Yesterday channel and having a relapse.

Major Isewater Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Vauxhall Novas... They were replaced by a model that was an amalgam of the Renault Clio and the Ford Taurus badged as the "Clitaurus" They did n't sell as most men had trouble finding them in the showroom .

southvillekiddy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Same in Woolworths for broken biscuits.. My uncle worked at Peek Freans, Avonmouth and used to come home with a bag of broken biscuits the size of a Morris Traveller for 2 bob. Broken biscuits, bruised fruit, different sized bangers, all gone - probably chucked in a skip because of stupid legislation that keeps the World's poor starving.

Broken biscuits, bruised fruit, different sized bangers, all gone - probably chucked in a skip because of stupid legislation that keeps the World's poor starving. Sorry, don't get me started on how times have changed Several (Many!) years ago I worked as a student in a chocolate factory - one of my roles was to ensure that the 'walnut whip' actually had a walnut on top and to remove it from the conveyor belt if not. We were allowed to eat as much chocolate as we wished on site, but were threatened with instant dismissal if we were caught taking any chocolate out of the site. Every Friday evening, at the end of the shift, we were allowed to buy 'broken' chocolate - huge queues waiting, and never, to my knowledge, anybody caught trying to take 'unbroken' chocolate off site. Presumably it is now just binned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Half a jammy dodger was a real find... We used to try and match up the halves .Felt like a winner if you reconstituted a custard cream for the price of a broken one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Actually Always the Bridesmaid isn't far out with that answer. Dogs of today don't eat so many bones and there isn't so much bonemeal in dog food. It's the calcium that causes Albino style turds. Also councils don't allow dog mess to remain in situ for weeks on end as they once did. Dog mess will turn white if left for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
