List of things you don't see nowadays...

I saw an SD1 the other day, classic. My Dad used to have one in white, its design has aged surprisingly well.

I didn't realise as a kid that it was inspired by the Ferrari Daytona, lovely stuff.

My father in law worked at Longbridge and built the SD1, he said the parts were rusting even before they put them on the car! He finds it remarkable when he sees one on the road.

liqourice pipes

My local shop has those for 15p. Very nice they are too.

I've got a teapot, and use proper leaf tea. And a strainer

Teabags and mug-brewing can't hold a candle to the real thing. It's like the difference between a Tesco Value burger and prime steak.

You think they make teabags from horses?

zimmer frames

fruit salad sweeties

black-jacks

liqourice pipes

They definitely all exist, though the last one is a pale imitation. I'm only young and even I remember sticks of liquorice you had to properly chomp on. But the first two are as I remember them, probably your local Tesco has them.

Meh. I don't think you could tell the difference in a blind test. Of course tea is very much about the emotional side so it can be totally indistinguishable and at the same time totally different!

PCs in Dixons where someone has typed:

10 PRINT "Hello world"
20 GOTO 10

you are thinking of liquorice bark. sticks of woody stuff that you could chew for a week without the flavour going

in Liverpool we called it 'sticky lice'

the point of it all.

I saw some of those little boxes of "sweet cigarettes" in a shop the other day. You know, the white things about three inches long with red dye on one end.

They've ditched the red dye and just call them "candy sticks" now, so sweet cigarettes can be added to the list, though their pure white ghost lingers on
