“Talking Pictures TV” is the greatest invention of the 21st Century.
BTW @degsy , as it's your Birthday here is a pic of one of the stained glass windows from the Brown Edge which you mentioned in this thread some time ago. 
As you rightly suspected they were replaced by plain windows many years ago (1990s) Several were incorporated into the interior decor of the pub for a while but are sadly now gone. This one depicted Rose Cottages which stood near to the pub in the 1800s (and unfortunately it's the only one I've been able to find a photo of)

Wagon wheels did they go smaller - i thinks so-?
WHENEVER Wagon Wheels make an appearance, there’s always someone who pipes up that they’ve got smaller over the years. Quite often, it’s me who says it.
The chocolate, biscuit and marshmallow treat has been around for more than 60 years and has become a lunch box favourite and snack cupboard staple during that time.
Although there are no known cases of hostilities breaking out, the issue of whether Wagon Wheels have shrunk over time is something which can create debate.
Some will insist they have most definitely decreased in size while others will claim any perceived reduction is all in the mind.
Burton’s Biscuit Company, which produces Wagon Wheels, has this to say on the subject: “Contrary to popular belief, Wagon Wheels have not actually got smaller, most often our first Wagon Wheel experience is in childhood and hence our hands are much smaller.”
Which side are you on? Are you happy to believe the claim Wagon Wheels have stayed the same size or do you think there is mischief afoot and they are being made smaller now than they used to be?

Anyone remember these. You could feel your teeth rotting as you bite into them.

Oor Wullie or the Broons, they alternated. That made them edgy.
…i think that comic strip was in the Sunday Post, no idea why my Dad used to get it every week as it was Scottish.
….Charlie Buchan’s Football Annual.
A couple of old favourites. Black Jacks and Fruit Salad. Think there would be a Twitter meltdown if a sweet had a wrapper like the Black Jacks one in this day and age.

Used to be four for a penny (old money)
To be honest, I was never that keen on Black Jacks or Fruit Salad. The ones I would buy were about the same size but plain toffee, I think they may have been called 'Walker', but I'm not fully sure.

I recall my first argument with an adult and first experience of inflation was the day I only got two for a penny at the newsagent.

Remember Mojo’s but I think they were fruit flavours also Palm toffee chews that had a stripe of banana or strawberry in the middle.
