... What would you buy that doesn't exist any more?

Mine would be mid 90s - a Cadbury Fuse bar!

A house for £16,000.

It was the early 90s and I talked myself out of it. Would have cleaned up.

Auxiliary016 · 11/08/2021 21:57

@youngwerther Ouch. Hope you've had some more luck since! Wine

Milkybar Choo bar!

Cadbury's Spira and Nestle Secret bar.

I can literally taste them when I think about them!

Funnily enough, I'd never tried a Spira and now I'm kicking myself.

Your fuse suggestion is an excellent one. So is the spira! Fuse would probably win though if I was only picking one.

SheepPixie · 11/08/2021 22:19

Nestle secret bar and the Kraft glass jar of cheese spread!

A plastic owl that changed its eye colour when you pulled a cord. A girl had one at my nursery school (early 1970’s) and I’ve coveted one ever since!

Also tickets to something at the ICA - I miss that place so much!

I wouldn't have sold my flat, I would have kept it when DH and I got married.

@Dotty111 you need to start your own thread

Wornout12108 · 11/08/2021 23:02

@Dotty111
With the greatest respect, if he is planning to live and set up his own business in your country, does he speak the language? Does he understand the culture?
Coming from a country in the Middle East to Eastern Europe he will experience racism, I know this from living in an Eastern European country myself with a partner who was not white. I had never heard and seen racism casual and abject like it.
I sounds like a bad idea. I am sorry for you, I think you need to listen to your head more than your heart on this. If your mother is against you marrying him then she will not accept him and you will be stuck between him and your family all the time.
