"Black cherry ice cream is a sight seldom seen these days. Not in Italy though. The sensible Italians still make and sell it" loved this and proper tutti frutti ice cream (a local place sells something they call this but it's not the same at all)
"those very basic Maclaren pushchairs with red, white and blue striped seats." I got one like that for dd for a beach holiday as I didn't want to wreck the "good" expensive one we'd bought her. It was so much easier to use and dd preferred it that I ended up basically ditching the "good" one making it an expensive mistake. The MacLaren was £10 I think in mothercare approx 17 years ago.
"Party songs from the 1980's..."Hands up,put your hands up,give me your heart" etc
Superman song
Agadoo." One of dds sleepover birthdays I ended up teaching her and her friends the moves to all these sort of songs - they loved it and had an absolute ball! It's now nearly 5 years later and I still get the kids commenting what a fun night that was and they'll do a little "sample dance" 😂😂
I did my nurse training in the early 90's, in the new hospital I was training in there was still blue/green crockery from the 50's being used that stuff must have been virtually indestructible!
"Not gone, but disappearing are traditional cafes" we had a fantastic greasy spoon locally, very popular, then the owners retired and sold it (thinking they'd sold to people who "got it") but the new people did away with milkshakes, got in a fancy barista coffee machine and stopped doing mugs of tea, changed the food menu getting rid of cooked breakfasts etc... Idiots! They went bust in 6 months! The place had been going for over 40 years before that!
"What about oysters from the ice cream vans do they still do them??" Definitely here in Scotland, nougat wafers too.
