Changing dirsction but in a different thread.

Used to visit Aberdeen every year to visit family for the Summer hols as a kid.  Allways used to love the short bread biscuits plus the butter biscuits.

I so miss Aberdeen Rowies. 
They're like a cross between a pastry and a scone ,flat and round with a salty flavour.
Story told by my Dad ,who came from Aberdeen ,was that they were originally made from the stale or previous days bread with fat and salt added and then gently baked. Delicious with cheese ,jam or best of all Herring and new Tatties....
In all my travels I've never ever found an equivelent anywhere , only Aberdeen.
For more than 15 years I used to go to Aberdeen almost weekly on business and used to bring literally dozens and dozens of them back to Lanarkshire to ex pat Aberdonians ,it got so bad I had to call the one shop I used to order as I cleared it out each time .
I don't think we've got any Aberdeen members have we... ?

Heated/toasted and buttered,  yum yum

Yes I do believe we have at least one memer on here, been on about a year or so.

What about a chocolate knob Skrunts.....

Well you see, there we were the other night, totally bored and nothing on TV, Out came the vodka amd coke, and all that was left in the fridge were some chocolate buttons and some squirty cream . . . . all I will add is it was a long night, and fun.

Had some very late night this week vamps, Having a night off at the mo, had a couple of mates round for a bite to eat instead, and all we did was moan about the price of takeaways and how we ought to be cutting down and losing weight.

Please please please help me with putting on weight...

[Mr Skrunts]

My downfall Mike is that I drink too much fizzy pop, am a bugga for drinking Diet Coke.  If I dont drink pop I lose weight, If I drink it I gain.

Used to be minium 2 litres a day, now is 2 litres in 2 days.

have a 3 litre orage bottle , with some robinsons Lemon Barly water concentrate, and diluted it with 2 lires of R Whites Lemonade, will last me 2 to 3 days, but wont help the weight.  Neither will the chocy biccys or sweets.

I remember it well son - when things got down to this level it was only a matter of time before the innocent lyrics would be rearranged to cater for a more imaginative audience.

Boxes of broken biscuits was my favourite, which we bought at the Home & Colonial stores for one!

It was always a lovely surprise to find what biscuits you had.  It was like a pick & mix of your favourite biscuits 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Aah I remember that very well indeed Lizze - it's just brought back memories of Annie Lennox's corner shop.

Salter weighing scales, Berkel food slickers, sides of proper bacon (covered in stockinette ) vast pieces of cooked ham covered in yellow crumb and lines upon lines of sweetie jars containing treats such as clove rock, brandy/aniseed balls, Army and Navies, sherbet bombs, Riley’s toffee rolls, flying saucers, Victory V lozenges and on and on.

Robbie the Co-Op milkman who was able to carry several pint bottles of milk by their necks between his fingers, Reggie the Baker and the very long trays of freshly backed goods pulled from the back of his electric van and a legion of other traders who brought their wares to the door step.

Memories of a time within a vastly different country.

Indeed Zulu, what lovely memories we can share 8-) 8-) 8-)

These include the wonderful (to me as a 4 year old, and still to this day!) Sainsbury's, pre-supermarket age, in Tunbridge Wells.  With all marble counters, meat hanging up, cheeses, canned, along with packeted foods, in neat piles on them, and the staff in their smart white aprons, plus many things that amazed me as a kid at the time.  All long gone in the name of "progress"!!
The floor was also so clean and marble like, with "Sainsbury's" stamped in it at the entrance.
