Remember When?
Do you remember when
A Takeaway was a mathematical problem
Curry was a surname
A takeaway was a maths problem
Pizza was a leaning tower
Bananas and Oranges only appeared at Christmas
All Potato Chips were plain; Our choice was whether to add salt on or not
A Chinese Chippy was a foreign carpenter
Rice was a milk pudding, never ever part of our dinner
A Big Mac was what we wore when it rained
Brown bread was something poor people ate
Oil was for lubricating and fat was for cooking
Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves
Coffee was Camp and came in a bottle
Only Heinz made baked beans
Fish didn’t have fingers
Eating Raw fish was called poverty, not sushi
Indian Restaurants were found only in India
Kebab was not even a word never mind food
Prunes were medicinal
Musuesly was regarded as cattle food
Water came out of the tap – if someone suggested bottling it and charging more than petrol for it
The one thing we never saw on our table in the fifties …was elbows
