What were you raised on?

[AdeptHelper]

Footbalo

Mince and tatties, fresh air and a love of books!

Depeche Mode, Rocky, family do’s

Heinz tomato soup, country music and ellnett hairspray.

Confusion and Kwik Save

Sugar

benign neglect

love, books, study, music, laughter.

Sit at the table dinners and conversation. Helping to cook and wash up. Knowing how to pick out fresh vegetables and potatoes at the veg stall (potatoes in particular). How to make my parents coffee after dinner. Being friendly and polite to everyone always no excuse. Saying please and thank you always. Thank you cards. If you see something/know something needs to be done do it without asking.

I’d forgotten about Kwik save.
I was raised on the same as you.

Love, great UK holidays
I loved my childhood

Single bar electric fires and goat kebabs.

This is a great thread. It’s amazing how you can get quite a picture of some posters’ backgrounds from just a few words.

I miss Kwik Save. Ours had open-topped freezers and a chiller section you walked through with big plastic sheets at either end to keep the chill in.

Tinned fruit and evaporated milk

Roger Red Hat, Billy Blue Hat and Jennifer Yellow Hat

Unconditional Love , kindness, common sense, home made steak & kidney pudding and lots of fresh air with a copious amount of benign neglect. (Which we made the most of)

Top of the Pops, Smash Hits and Bullseye

Blackadder.

Carob. Bean sprouts. Wooden toys. Folk music. Flapjacks. Handmade cardigans. Homegrown apples with a weird texture. No TV.

Judgement

We didn't have any money but we were rich on love.

Micro chips, Blind Date, Woolworths

Books and tea

The dinner table being the most important part of the house, Church, and going for walks.

ive never go anywhere without Bovril. I am in Bulgaria as we speak and have 2 spare jars.
