They've gone and buggered about with the size of sugar puffs and the bloody name too, they are now called Honey Monster Puffs for crying out loud and i'm bloody convinced that they are smaller than they used to be. Just ate a bloody big bowl of them with lashings of cold milk and shock horror I had to add a few spoons of sugar to the sodding things. Wished they'd just leave things alone, anyway whatever
Sugar Puffs my arse.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Sanitising everything now. I used to like Sugar Puffs but then I discovered a mild intolerance to wheat. Can't have Weetibix, Shreddies or Shredded Wheat these days.

When the great Salad Cream furore broke last week I kept my own counsel. I am aware that a beloved product being threatened is just a crafty sales boost. When they really do kill of a beloved brand it is done quietly. Ruthlessly. In the dead of night. #FarewellSugarPuffsOldPalpic.twitter.com/lnqc9mTXsW
Ok. I'd normally say, don't get me started on this subject, but...
* Pimms - was 40% in the days ... you know, when Qpr used to thrash everyone. Now is 25% * 'Full fat' milk (misnomer - all milk is low fat - ie less than 5%) - now even that is watery; you have to buy 'Jersey cream' or some such to get the cream on the top like you used to * marmite - what's happened to this? all now thin and drippy, you used to be able to stand a spoon in it * ice cream - now made entirely of vegetable matter, tastes like liquid plastic, you have go to Italy for the real stuff * chocolate - as above, for Italy sub Belgium/Switzerland

Tomato's don't escape my wrath either, you go and buy a small tin of plum tomato's and when you open the goddam tin there's only one bleeding tomato in the tin but on the label it clearly say's plum tomato's, it should say one plum tomato on the label the bloody bastards.
Anyway I get the bit about ice cream as mentioned above, soft scoop bolox, it's now a load of composite gunge it should be called soft goo and not fit for purpose.
Mr Kipling is managing to keep his high standards though, I'd like to meet him some day providing he aint dead.
Anyway, anyone fancy a pint?
Pint my arse.

Napolina tinned toms are good but pricey. Tinned cherry toms are usually OK. There are some good ice creams but not usually the supermarket ones. Peter's of Suffolk is a good ice cream. There seem to be lots of trendy artisan ice crean shops opening, but they are expensive and I've yet to find a really good 'un.
For breakfast I have porridge with a few blueberries added. Followed by a sausage sandwich !

My old man had a mate they called the Honey Monster because he was 6’5 blond and hairy as fvck.
He used to work in Leavesden mental hospital as a cleaner after being released from Wormwood Scrubs for armed robbery.
So the policy was, when the floors had to be cleaned they would lock all the patients away as a precaution but on this occasion one of the female patients had slipped out of her room before they locked her door.
Anyway, this was the 1980s and Honey Monster was using some gigantic and dangerous industrial floor polisher, when the said patient sneaked up behind him and grabbed hold of his bollocks and clinged on as hard as she could through his overalls. Apparently she was hanging onto them like the hero in a western hangs onto a moving train.
He was screaming like a banshee but couldn’t let the gigantic 1980s machine go as it would have smashed up half the hospital.
In the end it took 5 porters, a few digs to the nut, and a syringe full of sedative to loosen her grip.
So HM ended up in the boozer that night showing off his gigantic grapefruit sized testes to all the patrons in The Bell pub in Bedmond for a few sympathy beers.
My old man said he couldn’t sit down for a month.

here on the isle of man, we have pure beer laws and laws appertaining to the cream/milk content in ice cream, Davidsons ice creams are lovely. We also have a firm called manx ices. If you get a job there, and tell a mate on the phone, 'I've joined manx ices', cheltenham goes into meltdown.
Ted, Danny Paddox is right, golden nuggets will NEVER climb down on sugar content, and they turn yer milk green.

Don’t get me started on the size of mars bars/ marathons ( refuse to call them snickers, that’s their EU pseudonym) I reckon the snack size ones were bigger thirty years ago.
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL

I used to love Manx Ices when I was a kid. (Contrary to the trend of this thread, my memory of mainland UK ice cream in the 70s was that it was Walls and utter rubbish, Manx Ices tasted properly creamy.)
Didn't see any being sold when I was last over, it was all Davidsons (very good). Would have liked to try a Manx Ices vanilla though just to see if childhood nostalgia was conning me.
