I certainly did, that and The Dandy. Seeing how they were drawn takes me back to a simpler time, the new style of drawing just doesn't do that. RIP David. Exactly what I was thinking. Think the Bash street kids/ Dennis the menace also were a reflection of their age/ times. Daft .. Hard to imagine kids going to depend pocket money on a Beano and quarter of wine gums. Beano and wine gums? That's so Lord Snooty! New comic day was so special, I don't envy kids today with all their tech. |

Was, mint imperials for me, but hated it when it was the powder centre, much preferred the hard clear centre (like foxes glacier mints). Or lemon sherbets, my sister used to buy Parma violets as she knew I hated them so wouldn't rob them off her.

But your sister had the right idea, I'm the same with Bountys, nobody but me likes them  |

This is probably the place for this:
Grant, maybe better known as "Struth" over on AOS has passed away.
I spoke to Grant a lot when I was on AoS, and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
A real shame. Rest easy brother.

Oh no. How sad.
I’d had some lovely exchanges with him after buying some vinyl albums.
A lovely guy.

Grant was clearly a top fella and an AOS legend.
Had time for everyone.
I will miss his contributions (especially the whisky entries).
RIP sir.

RIP Gerry Conway.
Gerry was "THE" folk rock drummer of the late '60s ‘70s and ‘80s, playing with Eclection, Al Stewart, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Sandy Denny, Fotheringay, Kate & Anna McGarrigle and Cat Stevens.
Conway joined Jethro Tull for their album The Broadsword and the Beast and also played on their Grammy Award-winning album Crest of a Knave (possibly my favourite Tull album).
Although he appears on none of his studio albums, Conway was a member of Richard Thompson's live band for several years in the 1980s, appearing on the tours for the albums Hand of Kindness, Across a Crowded Room and Daring Adventures. Some songs from these sessions appear on the compilations Watching the Dark and Live at the BBC.
He played on until last year, playing session work, and drums in the reformed Pentangle, of whom his wife, Jacqui McShee was a member.
He was a superb drummer providing a rock solid structure for the brilliant musicians he worked with.
Conway died on 29 March 2024, at the age of 76, having been diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2022
I've taken this info from another forum post, hoping Slinger will not mind.
