Angustura bitters ( I althought it was Angus Stewart bitters) for the morning after the night before on a Sunday lunch time in the Grapes.. Supposed to have cured the hangover , but never seemed to work! Blackthorn cider , hair of the dog, worked better

We had jelly in a bowl (We weren't posh enough to afford jelly moulds) made the previous day as we didn't have a fridge , and carnation milk. With a slice of white bread with dripping from the cup of fat setting on the kitchen window sill. Yummy! And so good (not) for those arteriesWe was posh.

Jelly was always rabbit shaped when i was a kid, and made with carnation, not water. (No it wasn't blamanche).
Sunday tea was high tea, Salmon (tinned) rolls with cucumber vinegar, cheese or ham sandwiches, pork pie, cheese & pinapple hedgehog, sausage rolls, randim mixed pickles and crisps, sherry trifle, fairy cakes and rabbit jelly.

Forum O. G.
Some of us can remember when people used to complain about how there were too many shoe shops in Stafford.
Not just Stafford, but the shoe industry probably added a couple more here, of course.
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, Douglas Adams even referred to the Shoe Event Horizon.
Shoe Event Horizon
The Shoe Event Horizon is an economic theory that draws a correlation between the level of economic (and emotional) depression of a society and the number of shoe shops the society has. The theory is summarized as such: as a society sinks into depression, the people of the society need to cheer...
