At one time spent a lot of sundays at my gradparents in Bolton we were from Bradford, Songs of bloody praise, Tinned fruit salad with evap and my Dad and Grandad used to have a can of tartan bitter each. On the way home the smell of my Dad with the Sunday trumps and saying excuse me and sorry did not make the smell go away in the Austin Maxi.
Sunpat Cheddar spread on toast, howards way and realising I hadn't learnt my spellings for school.
Crumpets and Monopoly. Sometimes also being taught chess by my dad.
Ohh, and picking skin/ nails and throwing it on the gas fire to watch it sizzle.
For some reason I seem to remember Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger being on every Sunday for my entire childhood.
Ski Sunday, tales of the golden monkey (I think) and strawberry jam and toast. I remember watching football on tv and being amazed when I realised that it was men that were playing, I thought it was a kids game : )
As an aside does anyone remember star fleet/x bomber?
Tinned salmon sarnies, followed by tinned strawberries and Carnation. There was also an ice cream van that turned up during Family Fortunes every week, 52 weeks a year. I'd have a 'special' - large cornet with two ice lollies stuck in the top too. We seemed to watch Whicker's World and The World About Us quite a lot.
Didn't have a TV.
Arctic Roll was our Sunday treat!
We always had our roast at tea time.
, tales of the golden monkey (I think)
I think that was on Monday nights.
No real memories of what we ate but I can remember watching The World about Us and later, Life on Earth.
Cold meat, bread, pickles. Crumpets toasted on the fire as a treat
