It's 24th June - 1976 - and I'm off to the corner shop. I'm buying a can of Jusoda and a mint Cornetto.

What will you have ? Tooth decay and pocket money aren't issues.

I do fancy a nice arctic roll. Would go lovely with our vesta curry for tea.

Get me some lemon Cremola foam please.

Can I have a packet of Spangles and those chewy mints that are green and white striped ?

I can't come I've got to queue at the stand pipe with a bucket because we've run out of water. It's far too hot to queue - the tarmac is melting!

Pacers....
I'd go for Black Jack's and Rhubarbs and Custards at halfpenny each.
To eat while I read my Whizzer & Chips.

Sorry I mean Fruit Salads

You had to buy rhubarb and custards in 2oz bags not individually....

Sorry, the corner shop is fresh out of Arctic Rolls, Vesta curries and Pacers. No Jusosa either so I bought Citra Apple Dash instead.

I'd like a cardboard block of Neapolitan ice cream please - but make sure they wrap it in a couple of layers of newspaper so it doesn't melt before you get it back.

A 10p mix and a jubly please!

2 ounces of rosie apple sweets or aniseed balls for me please! I still remember it cost 6p for two ounces of sweets form the jars behind the counter.

After work I'll be buying a piece of fish or chicken or a chop from MacFisheries for my tea like I do every day.

A quarter of strawberry sherberts and ten Number 6, please. I'm nearly old enough.

A bag of ranchero's and a nutty please.

20 Silk Cut and 20 Marlboro (its OK the newsagent knows they're for my mum and dad) and as many 1p / 2p sweets I can get with the change.

I'm not a smoker but my neighbour wants 20 Piccadilly cigarettes. He's a fan of The Sweeney.

10 No.6 and a box of puck matches for me please 😅

I've just turned 12. I'm feeling sick because I've had too much sun so I'm not allowed anything from the shop, though if I could I'd have a quarter of midget gems. My bedroom is stiflingly hot and I can't sleep, so I have to share with my younger sibling for the next few weeks, which isn't fun.

I read the OP and thought Pacers!

10p mix and a bottle of pink Cresta (which we called 'Frothyman' because of the polar bear on the label saying 'It's frothy, man!')

Can I have some of those sweets which are designed to look like cigarettes so I can feel grown up?

Or perhaps a frozen mousse from Bejam which is like soup at the top but still frozen at the bottom.

Please may I have a sherbet fountain, 2 white mice, and 2 chocolate logs.
I don’t need any drinks, as I’m waiting for the Alpine van to come round later.

I loved Pacers, Cabana and iced gems. Oh, and wine gums.
No wonder my teeth are crap.

I think I'll sit and eat a Bejam choc-ice from the freezer while I watch Bjorn Borg play at Wimbledon on the telly.

I'll have a wham bar and some strawberry bon bons please.

I remember that advert…..😊

Somebody sort out those ladybirds they're everywhere
