I would spend my old penny my mam had given me for the collection in the Beech Nut machine at the corner shop next to the church (Every fourth penny you got an extra pack). Back home for tea which always included a huge plateful of buttered doorstops in the centre of the table (it was actually marg!)
I've just had a trip down Memory lane brought on by a tin of Del Monte Fruit Cocktail! (FREE of course).
As kids, every Sunday afternoon we'd have either tinned fruit or jelly and blancmange for tea. Fruit cocktail day would always end in an argument - who was going to have the half cherry - as there was always only one blob of red in the middle of a sea of peaches and pears and pineapple.
I'm pleased to report that in tonight's tin there were 2 pieces of cherry so my imaginary letter to Mr Del Monte must have worked.
Still to this day people look at me when I now have bread and butter (gone posh) with my trifle,rice pudding or whatever is for sweet.
