I'm just popping down to the 1980s/1990s corner shop. Anybody want anything?

Think I'm going to get a raspberry Panda Pop, a Cadbury Taz bar and hopefully they'll have the latest issue of Sugar magazine.

Misty and some Spangles for me.
Bunty and a packet of Space Dust for my little sister.

A complete run of In Dublin magazine from its 1980s glory days would be nice, but a random copy would do. The gay contact ads might startle some of the young people who have no idea what Ireland was like in the 1980s.

Oh dear, I have entered the wrong corner shop in the wrong decade. Soz.

I mean Frazzles - smoky bacon crisps not Porn mag!!!

🤣🤣. I loved frazzles but I'm sure they've changed something about them, they don't seem as bacon-ey these days.

A copy of Fast Forward, I need the latest poster of Dieter Brummer. And a walnut whip for my mum x

Lostinidea · 20/11/2024 11:15

Oh Dieter Brummer and his lovely smile. Couldn't reminisce with any of my friends when he died a couple of years ago because they'd never heard of/didn't remember him. Philistines.

10 Embassy for me and a Panda Pops for the nipper. You know, The blue strawberry one.

Texan, Pacers and some Spangles. Oh, and a Wagon Wheel that's the size of my head.
If they have those lime chews that taste like green Opal Fruit but with sherbert in the middle (that no one else has ever heard of),I'll have a carrier bag full of those.

Edited

Do you mean sherbet limes? You can still get them. Check on Google

I hadn't realised he had died, that's so sad. I also hadn't realised until I googled how young he was- only about 5 years older than me 😩 . I'm pretty sure I had this exact poster, A4 size, from that magazine, blue tacked to the wall!

Yeah he was only a few years older than me too. I think his passing stuck in my head in that way something does when someone was a big part of your growing up years, and I was super invested in Shane and Angel getting together. From what I remember reading DB was a troubled wee soul so hopefully he's at peace now. And I had that poster too 😊.

Just in case you have any teeth left in your head, a Texan bar and a slab of walkers toffee will sort that out for you...dont forget the little metal hammer to break the toffee.

Starso · 20/11/2024 23:27

Some cola bottles sweets and a freddo please. And some toffee poppets 😆

Check the freezer for a cylindrical Bernard Matthews turkey roast please. Also check the grocery shelf in case they have those nut roasts that come in their own waxed cardboard loaf tin; you just take the lid off, mix with water and bung in the oven.
Are there 2 rows of VHS tapes for hire at the back of the shop? If so bring home Adventures in Babysitting and Big Man on Campus please :).
Treatwise Id like a quarter of chewing nuts, a Cadburys Snack (the shortbread one) and a Fresca. Thank you

benefitstaxcredithelp · 20/11/2024 23:56

Some cheese and onion Ringos, a packet of Pacers and Smash Hits as there’s a Pepsi and Shirley poster and a Pet Shop Boys poster I want to put up on my wall in it this week. Ta very much.

LeavesTrees · 21/11/2024 00:04

I would like a Nuts About Caramel bar, a Spira, apple flavour Hubba Bubba, some beef flavour potato puffs and Big! Magazine. Thank you.

IThinkImGonnaBeSadIThinkItsToday · 21/11/2024 02:47

Terry's Pyramint
Beef Discos
Cadburys Miniatures to put in my little red slot machine
Bunty comic
a box of Terry's Neapolitans

IThinkImGonnaBeSadIThinkItsToday · 21/11/2024 03:01

Oh I forgot the Marathon bar!

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 21/11/2024 07:50

My Mum would like a Fry’s chocolate bar.

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 21/11/2024 07:53
