TonyTonyTony Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Jesus. A lunch date with a Bender in Barnstaple followed by meaty faggots. That is simply not allowed these days. Naughty step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaissance Williams Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Nice one, Otibites. It’s not often I can read a three page thread on here without wanting to bang my head against a brick wall but this one is a delight - and after such an unpromising opening. Now I’ve got to drive to bloody Barnstaple…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 On 09/09/2021 at 21:46, BS3City said: I was significantly younger when I last ate one. So much so that my hands would have been smaller, and hence the bar appeared bigger. Yep the perspective of age is definitely a thing. Visiting the delightful Devon resort of Beer recently, I assured the wife that the pebbles on the beach there are absolutely huge. About the size of your feet! I knew this because I went to Beer on holiday years ago. Anyway when we got there it turned out I was wrong and the pebbles are actually rather small. Then I remembered that I was about 4 years old and with tiny feet the last time I'd been there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum worked at Fry’s too, so we used to get loads from the retail shop, stuff that had been on the floor and damaged). Some of the five centres from the shop had all the centres mixed up and sometimes only one flavour, but we didn’t care. Cadbury’s also did a Plain Choice and Milk Tray bar which had the same thing happen. Was lush but you never really knew what you’d get. That was probably too expensive to produce!
