Tupperware? We had never heard of that, or eg plastic washing up bowls.
There was no domestic plastic at all, Wirelesses were made of bakelite .
All was enamel ware and biscuit tins. Biscuits and eg sugar were weighed up int he grocers and sold in thick blue paper bags.... Metal bread bins with lids.

Ah Srameen, I'm about to hit my late 40s soon and I feel old too. But like yourself I'm old enough to remember the Sodastream being one posh device. The memories of that friends house will stay with me forever. I must have looked like a right little pitiful eejit begging for a drink out of the Sodastream.
We got crisps and a bar on a Friday , sweet night , friend down the road her parents owned a shop, house full of sugary treats so I can understand your sodastream thirst https://forumofgames.com/

I still use a sodastream ?!!! Is that odd 😳
Not odd, but real retro. Fair play.We got crisps and a bar on a Friday , sweet night , friend down the road her parents owned a shop, house full of sugary treats so I can understand your sodastream thirst
My Friday night treat was Lilt and a Jam Doughnut from the very earliest incarnation of Tesco's in Ireland. It was Gubays! Late 70s. Cheap. A latter day Aldi/Lidl. Great memories here tonight.0 -

Posh? We were far from it.:D Gubays was cheaper than Dunnes and Quinnsworth. The Jam Doughnuts were once a week. We can do it everyday now,:D
Cadburys Oreo peanut butter flavour chocolate. The ladies of the house don't like it. Bought on a market earlier this week. Two weeks out of date. There's posh for you.:D Finishing a beer.0 -

We didn't have a Dunne Stores then . Now one Dunnes is in the same unit in town here as Gubays was all those years ago , odd but true!
Lol , was joking about being posh , chocolate is always good , dates are only a selling tactic https://forumofgames.com/

I had a Fishermans Pie earlier and having a cold beer now
I got a Soda Stream for Xmas one year. Only problem was it was the 80s and nobody had money for the fecking refils for them so they sat like an ornament in the kitchen tormenting you :pac:
Our Friday night treat was King crisps at 12p a packet

My next door neighbours had a soda stream and I was obsessed with it. I also remember the sachets of powder you mixed with water to make drinks from
You could get ones in the local sweet shop then that were sold separately that were like bitter cola bottles only orange flavour. I used to love going out with my dad cos he always got chipper chips that were half raw and pasty but so tasty! It was a real treat at the time. We always got them from the chip vans that would probably be shut down now straight off.
Oh and I'm craving ribs
And another treat was going to the corner pub to get 10p crisps. The salt and vinegar were really flavoursome back then. I remember the picture of the
bottle of vinegar on the packet.0 -
