I remember the Jenkinsons Milk Shakes. Pretty normal milk shake but with the added extra of a scoop of ice cream floating in it. Lovely!
As a child (50 odd years ago) I had a n ice cream bought for me from that very booth, I haven't been that way for years, I'm amazed that it's still there!staffordjas said:Talking of icecreams.....
Anyone remember the little Walls Icecream kiosk actually on Cannock Chase,just up the hill from Milford towards Broc Hill car Park ?
Brought back memories walking past it last week and the kiosk is still there ,although been closed up for years & years.
I did the same at the Colosseumbobbythomas21 said:mine is working at reynolds bar for quite few years and watching all the antics people got up to lol
Apologies; I have only just seen this!Withnail said:What was, by my reckoning, 5 or 6 years ago (ie 2005/6), a free sheet appeared through my door which i can only describe as this forum in printed form. It was about the same size as the (is it?) Stafford Advertiser that periodically arrives these days - A5ish.
It had an editorial article written by 'The Alternative Town Crier' or 'Not The Town Crier', some such that again i can't quite remember - one thing i do remember is that it didn't half piss off the actual Town Crier who once moaned about the situation at me at length. And i do mean 'at' me.
Anyway, my questions are these;
a) Does anybody else remember this?
b) What the blazes was it called? (driving me mad is this particular Q.)
c) Who was behind its inception/production?
d) Was it you, Admin et al?
Harry Boult is a friend of mine and will ask him about this one... Sounds an interesting chat to have......Graham said:Boults? sweet shop by the Odeon. He'd split packets of fags and sell them singly if you desired. There was also a rumour that eating Parma Violet sweets made you irresistable to girls and he sold out in no time. He probably started the rumour to get rid of overstock. BTW they didn't work
Gosh....he must be getting on now. Did his wife work in the shop too?Moby Dick said:Harry Boult is a friend of mine and will ask him about this one...

Hi Graham. Am not sure about his wife as Harry was married 3 times, he was widowed twice. Yes he is in his mid 80's and a little frail but enjoys Wednesday morning get togethers with a group of frinds in his kitchen and his mind is sharp which not all people of mid 80's can boast.Graham said:Gosh....he must be getting on now.
