Not quite so later in the day though, bbq smells are better then. I think the smell of bacon cooking is sometimes better than the real thing. That and fried onions from a distance.

Not Vimto, we weren't that posh , but a small bottle of Pepsi Cola and one packet of Smith Crisps my Dad used to get me and my sister on a Thursday which was pay day for the RAF. And that folks was it. None of this cupboards full of sweets and chocolates and crisps that they have today, and Lord help you if you helped yourself to anything in the cupboard, (we did not have a fridge until the 60s). Dreadful really. I wouldnt mind but my parents were well off compared to some, and now I know how. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
