Mr T I am not sure if my memory is playing with me but I seem to remember Cadbury's making a chocolate bar that had 6 or so different centres to it that matched the milk tray centres, but all in one bar.

I also liked the dark chocolate bountys, which I haven't seen for a long time either.

My grandparents were skint farmers, sometimes dinner would be whatever my grandad could go out and shoot, sometimes nothing, but if they were lucky it might be a rabbit or bird of some description. :)

When I first saw it I just assumed it was from some earlier bread strike. In the 40's or early 50's, before I was born for sure. The bread strike I remembered was in 1978, that photo couldn't possibly have been taken then. Apparently it was, I was 24 and married, working as a sales rep and used to manage to bring home a loaf a couple of times a week by seeking out the small independent bakers. Obviously this was before we invented artisan bakers (and salad) |
