Re: I remember that/those
There was a vending machine in our school that dispensed hot drinks - tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc. - which was quite a novelty but also my favourite was the hot blackcurrant drink on a winters lunchbreak

Re: I remember that/those
Having a cup of Bovril at the football was always a winner for me. I used to love doing the football pools really miss the excitement as the results came on the teleprinter on a Saturday afternoon. Saturday teatime & waiting for the Green Un to arrive & once it did popping to the pub next door to read it cover to cover. Blokes at the games with transistor radios held high & passing on any scores he thought we would be interested in. Buying a rosette of the opposition.

Back in 1976 I won £1200 on Littlewoods pools ‘twas enough to put as a deposit on my first home which was £6600. Just looked the same house was sold in 2016 for £150,000.
