The FOC thread.

wasn't feeling great the other day so bought a bottle of lucozade for the first time in years. It didn't have the same healing power it did when it came in a glass bottle and wrapped in orange cellophane.

That orange cellophane tasted lovely when you chewed it. Better than chewy, and didn’t stick on your soles or hair.
 
The time has come, the foc said, to speak of many things....donkey stones and rationing, Kippax kings and drain-pipes, Ben Shermans, penny rounds, the mersey sounds, teddy boys and skinheads. Park Drive and Players Weights, smoking on buses, apprentice-ships, actual GP's, gold teeth, £75,000 considered a fortune, student's Rag week, politicians resigning after being caught lying (TRUE !!) Radio Luxemberg, the uproar at the beeb over radio caroline, and the efforts to stamp out CB radios. The rush to leave the cinema before the national anthem, Durex only available at the barbers..something for the weekend sir? the Pill being called the "end of civilisation". Not having to worry about "super-bugs" if you went to hospital.Sunday Night at the Palladian rivalling the Grand National and the FA cup final for peak viewing. School milk, Whit walks and holiday camps..(avoiding Glasgow week), the thousands of jobs in Trafford Park fed by the 53 bus, and bicycles.

The days you could only buy lucozade at a Chemist
I had to get some when I was buying my tiny bottle of olive oil. Wtf was that about? I have an old copy of a cookbook (c 1947) which actually lists the places in Britain where you could buy olive oil. All in that there London.
