David Ra2 Â Â 10 #1000 Posted March 1, 2016 I went down Grimesthorpe Road yesterday past the old junior school and along Earl Marshall road I have never seen as much litter about it looked terrible, I know it was also a poorer area of the city but it was not like this in the "old days" who are the "rubbish" who haved moved in.

fleetwood   10 #1003 Posted March 5, 2016 When we were kids mother used to buy potted meat or paloney or sometimes both from the corner shop (Holmes), it went into sandwiches for packing up for Dad or served to us. Potted meat came out of a larger container at the shop and bought in whatever quantity and the paloney was like a red sausage as it had this red skin and purchased one link at a time, it could be spread or served in slices. My question is, is this stuff still around if so did it get any better tasting? And again, I wonder what these original products comprised of. fleetwood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
