What? Selling Nimble you mean for our larger posters?

[scouse smurf]

You can still buy nimble and since I'm one of the large posters I buy it as well as diet coke with lots of unhealthy foods

Costigans on Robson Street looked like that ...

Picture #4 is interesting because of 'kake brand'. I remember the furore about shops like Kwik Save purposely using misspellings in that it would be a bad influence on kids. I didn't realise that the trend had started earlier than that. There's probably well more than kake brand and earlier too.

I thought it might be the Maypole but i remember they used to have the big square tins in front of the counter with biscuits in and of course one on the end for broken biscuits.............................Happy Days

I wonder what a starch enriched loaf tastes like [before they reduced it?] Probably like eating grandad's old shirt?

[scouse smurf]

Probably the same as Tesco or Asda Value brands now
