Auntie Ivy and Uncle Sid would have been proud.

Not sure if this counts, but I saw Eric Sykes live in Run For Your Wife in Bournemouth around 1988; and Jack Smethurst in some Shakespeare play in Poole around 1992 or 1993. John Challis in his live one man show about five years ago. Oh, and Cannon and Ball in about 1986.

Why is it Kit Kats tasted better in the old paper and tin foil wrapper than the new plastic wrapper??

Trio. United. Snack. Unthinkable about Breakaway being discontinued. I think there was a plain dark chocolate one as well - there was a red wrapper as well as the more familiar yellow wrapper. I also recall that there were far more varieties of Club than we have now. Great topic this, by the way.
