Yes it's amazing to see those prices isn't it?
Chris
Excellent stuff, Robbo :)
Wonder how many of the Health foods would still be considered that now
Robbo, I'm so glad you posted all these after tea-time. :) It's still making my tummy rumble a bit. :) Hmmm... so many goodies to choose from. They could've sprung straight from the pages of one of Mrs Beeton's cookbooks.
ASSORTED SCONES....[a choice from]
Sultana, Lemon, Currant, Wholemeal, Soda and Potatoe!
I also liked:
"Pre War Strength Scotch Whiskey"
"Hayward's Military Pickles"
"Potatoe scraping gloves"
Well done Robbo, great stuff.:handclap:

When I used to come home on leave my Mum used to get Canadian corn cured bacon from Coopers so that I could have it with two eggs for breakfast, it was bloody marvellous. I loved the aromas in Coopers,ground coffee ,smoked ham, strong cheeses and all the other spicy things,combined to create a bouqet that would have your olfactory senses going into overdrive,thanks for the memory Robbo,

I hated the smell of coffee from Coopers !, my Mum loved it though, from the time when I was really young I have hated and still do the smell of coffee, I,m sure it was because of Coopers.....loved the cheesey smell though....
Once again what a crime this lovely old building was torn down for modern concrete "blocks" !
its amazing what a bit of make up can do ....here's me without the makeup :PDT10Quote:
