Povodny Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Milk was delivered to your door in glass long necked bottles (not the short stubby ones)with foil tops. In winter the birds used to break into the milk and drink the cream off the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) but the machines used to fart when you pressed the button. endless hours of amusement for a young boy I thought I was the only one who thought that! Lmao. Did you used to push the button over and over until the water got seriously fizzy and it looked like it was gonna explode? Good fun coz when you added the syrup and mixed it, it really did erupt like a volcano! Edited November 6, 2012 by emma1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
