The UCP (which stood for United Cow Products) sold the sort of food that you (or Hannibal) can only dream about now .........and yes it was delicious

The Bell Waldron was actually quite nice. It was good quality English food served in nice surroundings. You have to remember that the restaurant scene wasn't anywhere near as cosmopolitan as it is now. Even Chinese and Indian restaurants were rare in those days and Prawn Cocktail was seen as sophisticated. So it was steak, meat, fish and chicken mainly iirc. It was in Elms Square, Whitefield, where Total Fitness is now. There was a block of shops on the ground floor and you went upstairs to the restaurant.

Visited a couple of times but never saw the great man ( No not P.B ) If I remember correctly Paul Doherty used to help run the place. I think he was a sports journalist that worked for Granada.

Think you're right about Belly and the Frosties ad.
Also I remember Franny advertising a Lyons Maid Ice Cream lolly called "Score".

Manchester City, ruining kids teeth since 1970.

Colin Waldron was a Burnley player. Paul Doherty was head of sport at Granada & City programme editor (and son of former City great Peter Doherty), and Colin Bell did appear in a Frosties advert. I have a photo somewhere, but the clip is on YouTube somewhere.

Waldron played at Bury before going to Burnley. That's how he knew Bell.
