Spaghetti bolognese, with the bolognese bit straight out of a tin, just heated and poured on to the spaghetti.


Tinned sardines on toast.


Birds trifle mix.


Tinned fruit cocktail with tinned cream.


Boil in the bag 'cod in parsley sauce'.


Cup-a-soup.


Sardine and tomato paste sandwiches.


Frey Bentos steak and kidney pudding.


Jelly with tinned fruit set in to it with 'squirty' cream.


Iceland used to do beefburgers with cheese inside them, I still remember how good they were (I suspect they were nowhere near as good as I 'remember').


Sour milk in a glass bottle that genuinely put me off milk for life (OK, not junk food but had to add as the scars are still there).

Urgh, school milk at break time - warm and slightly on the turn after sitting in the sun since early morning. The reason so many of my generation don't like milk. These days kids all carry water bottles at school but back then you just went without or ducked your head under the tap.


Tinned ravioli. No texture whatsoever when I tried it again in a fit of nostalgia a couple of years ago.


Heinz tomato soup. Although I make my own soup all the time, this is still the one for when I'm poorly. Maybe with Ritz biscuits.

another shout for butterscotch angel delight here! Tried some quite recently and it was vile. My mum always bought a pack of Mr Kipling cakes when she did her weekly shop - usually fondant fancies. Ate them really slowly to make them last. I still really like Mr Kipling cherry bakewells (minus the glace cherry) and almond slices.

Didn't really eat much processed savoury food that I can remember.

Alas no. I don't think that was a thing in the 80s! The stuff just came in a sort of sachet, I don't think there was a carton.

Snap again. Super mousses (supermi?). Really nasty things. After we got our first microwave, my mum would defrost them in the microwave... at best they'd turn out warm and runny on the outside and frozen in the middle. At worst they'd go all rubbery and gross.

    • True.  And I'll have a look online. Thank you for the explanation. I have just googled, and that is indeed the case with certain weeds. I had no idea that this could happen, so thank you.     The below is apparently all Southwark Council has to say. They don't say why they remove weeds, just that they do, and how. They've got a lot more to say about Japanese Knotweed, which does indeed cause problems, but which they don't remove! However I've never noticed any round here.  
    • It's probably less of a priority for them than it appears to be for the OP! Nobody is saying that local businesses are not part of the community. But in the context of this thread, there is a clear distinction between local businesses set up to make a profit for individuals and local non profit organisations set up to help groups and individuals in the community. What has living in social housing got to do with anything? And who is forcing anybody to "accept a secondary definition" or telling anybody to "shut up"?
    • Whilst I agree this is unlikely to be some plot, individual drivers may not have evidence of the time parking suspension notices were put up.
    • Were you affected or are you fighting the battle of others?  If penalties are wrongly given then the owners will surely have appropriate evidence to appeal.  And if this is a systematic error then it will not continue.  I doubt if there are masterminds plotting this.
