I knew this would turn into a trip down crisp memory lane but at least we all agree Walkers are average to poor.


Anyway I reckon crisp spotting for rare yet still available brands is a worthy past time. Often the most off piste newsagent is a treasure trove. If so post your rare findings here.

If you like rare finds of the crisp variety, then a trip to the newsagent in Dulwich Village will not disappoint. They sold ready salted Smith's Chipsticks not so long ago. Not seen them anywhere else in many years.


I also quite like Space Raiders, against Mr L's better judgement!


Also, not a fan of Walkers. OK with a sandwich, but they try to disguise themselves as a heritage brand when in fact, they've been part of PepsiCo for years, which pretty much wiped out Tudor and Smith's.


Louisa.

Dovertheroad - I was hoping the venerable HonaloochieB would come back to post on this thread to provide expert and humorous analysis of just how inferior Walkers crisps are


Was it quids who said Golden Wonder not as good as Walkers? Madness. (Shakes head).

GW FAR superior and still going strong in Scotland. Recently tried their haggis flavour - perfect. Mackies crisps also Scottish brought out a haggis & cracked black pepper flavour (rolls eyes). Nowhere near as good as GW plus everyone knows it's white pepper with haggis. Pickled onion & Worcestershire sauce are available too.


Interested to hear if Discos salt & VIOLENTKY vinegar are still around. There used to be EXTREME vinegar flavour in separate sachets but can't remember brand, anyway I digress.

OMG, can someone report whether they still do the ready salted chipsticks? If so I'll mke a special trip. I miss those things! Everywhere does the Salt & Vinigar, but they're just not the same.

No




Freaking




Way!!!




It just can't be.

That's the problem with these internet rumours. Once they're out there, someone is always going to accept them as truth, and in the future, some poor sap will believe that shit.


Even though I know the truth, I feel that my relationship with Monster Munch has been damaged, and I'll always have that shadow of doubt in the back of my mind.


Once the trust has gone...

This work has the hand of Putin written all over it. The Russkis are clearly trying to undermine the very fabric of our nation. They can take our lives, but they will never take our Monster Munch!...

Yep.


I also used a nik nak as a club for a mini Captain Caveman I once knocked up.

If you're going to believe that someone is really called Pamela Crump...I'm seeking counselling for crisp based confusion.

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
