I remember that, it was nice. Also remember when the Blackjacks wrapper had a golliwog face on it, and you could buy sweet cigarettes where the end was dyed red and even buy non-edible fags which were filled with chalk dust and you could blow a puff of dust out to look like smoke :laugh: All very politically incorrect now.

Yep, and ours :yes: They obviously knew you were way too young but still flogged them to you. We had one shop used to sell a cigarette which we used to call a 'joystick', about 3 times the length of a normal one. When we were flush we would buy a pack of 5 and a book of matches, we thought we looked the boll*cks walking down the road coughing our lungs out.

Slightly different but... whenever children draw houses there's always a chimney with smoke coming out of it and the same with drawings of trains.

 

Every time I hear a "record" on radio 2 that I've got I say to my son, "I've got this one on vinyl...you can have it when I die."
