My mum used to put stork on our bread

[disintegratingdigestive]

Was that par for the course during the seventies? Or unreasonable?

Try the new Flora. It tastes just like Stork used to.

oh but I wasnt yet born in the seventies

We had Co-op own-brand margerine IIRC.

Rank!

Was it 'blue band' sparkling?

squeaky that's it!! Yuck.

We had butter as my mam thought marg was common. I longed to be allowed Gold or Vitalite like my friends. Until I tried it and realised its disgusting.

My Dad mixes I Can't Believe It's Not Butter with Stork margerine

And now I don't know what to believe

We had StIvel Gold on our bread and UHT skimmed milk for my entire childhood, and I survived fairly well! :)

We had butter, but Sainsbury's green label margarine in a round tub for baking.
My mother was an early-adopter of supermarket own brands .

Oh God! We had Blue Band as well. I'd managed to erase that particular torture from my memory.

Aw crap I'm a stork user not all the time

My university boyfriend used Gold margarine. Our relationship did not endure.

we also had nimble bread for a while too until my dad threatened her with the toasting fork unless she bought some real bread!

Thanks Olympia yes it was!! I would have been trying to remember all night.

Ah nimble!! And 'milk roll'

No lentilly - one Xmas my dad (grew up in WW2) made a "soup" out of everyone's leftovers this included half eaten food off one of my then babies high chair tray my sister and her family were offered a bowl on their arrival -I hurriedly took them to one side and suggested they may like to politely decline

We had blue band

I dont mind milk roll, and still get it sometimes as it is perfect for small sandwiches.

We always had a tin of MARVEL milk powder in the cupboard. I used to eat it dry!

Marge wise, Stork. In later years I used to buy Vitalite. The tubs made excellent playdoh storage containers.

Course it was the norm in the 70s! Still is in our house, but only when we've run out of Asda's Olive Oil Spread.

I quite liked st ivel gold. I use stork for baking.

New flora is shite. Ive changed to some low fat olive oil based spread.

I'd forgotten about all these awful margarines from the 70s, Dad would use the Blueband tubs for his greenhouse cuttings. We always had a big plate of bread and marg on the table with every meal, even Sunday roast. I only eat Lurpack now.

I still remember the Nimble advert and how much it made me want to go up in a hot air balloon.

Hated the fucking bread mind....

it was own brand sunflower spread here, really really orangey yellow. I love stera milk though

Always had bread too. I sometimes put it out for the dc and it always gets eaten. I should do it more
