denlin   12 #37 Posted May 22, 2010 I can assure you that Walkers crisps were definitely on sale in Sheffield when I was at Ecclesfield Grammar School because they used to sell them in the tuck shop. I left school in 1966. My husband also remembers them and he is the same age as me:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Plain Talker   11 #40 Posted May 22, 2010 Are you sure that Walkers crisps were on sale in the 60's. I might be wrong and sorry if I am.  Walkers began to make crisps in 1948 according to the company history, but at first they were distributed only in the area around their Leicester base, and they only became a market leader from about the 1980s onwards.  I remember walkers crisps being 2p a packet in the mid 1970s, when the walkers snaps came out. I remember Snaps being 1p a packet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Alastair   12 #45 Posted May 23, 2010 I bought some Golden nuggets the other day didn't know they still made em!!!  Who remembers Old Ma Roper's Scrubbing Gravel?  It was like the exfoliant of the 1950s, but made out of ground up bricks from WWII bomb sites.

Sweatshopboy   11 #47 Posted May 23, 2010 Are you sure that Walkers crisps were on sale in the 60's. I might be wrong and sorry if I am.  In the fifties and early sixties I can only remember eating Smith's crisps, and maybe XL crisps, if they were around then, I'm not quite sure, It was a long time ago.

Sweatshopboy   11 #48 Posted May 23, 2010 Monday's in the fifties was wesh day and I was usually sent to the corner shop for a bag of reckitt's blue, a very handy product, not only used for whitening, but dabbed on stings and insect bites. I don't know if it's still around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
