So does my grandma! She is that one person the milk man float silently glides down to at 4am ... I’m kind of glad she’s keeping them going
Yeh they are def the only ones in their road too 😂 I heard it advertised in a jay rayner podcast, they apparently deliver loads of stuff now not just milk

I’ve had milk delivered for 20 years. On a Friday the milkman also delivers eggs and butter. I’ve never met him but we text now and again!

Wish we had this in our local area as I’d love to support small business

Not a small business but they're all over the country and is who most people getting milk delivered to their doorstep are using these days.

There's a place on the Sign In / Register page where you can put your postcode in to see if they deliver.

Is anybody else old enough to remember that horrible loo paper that was essentially tracing paper? We had it at school. Deeply unpleasant. Not sure if it still even exists.
Yes I remember it well! Just didn't do the job either! And to add insult to injury my grandma had it in her outside loo as well!

That’s the company that MoD and FoD were advertising. 🤣
 
The Pier! It was my favourite shop with gorgeous candles, rugs and nick nacks. Nearly every home had one of their lanterns. I wish they would come back!

I remember being devastated if the sega mega drive/ps1 game i wanted to rent out from Choices wasn’t available. It would genuinely ruin my weekend!

Does anyone else remember a magazine from the 90’s called PC Genius? I think the issues were monthly, my granddad who was big into computers even back then got me a subscription. The magazines came with a floppy disc/cd-rom containing educational games from things like maths and English to basic coding and foreign languages. With each issue you’d get more games. It was probably aimed at kids age 5-10? There were little mascots/characters in the game which were animals of some kind. I loved it! Barely remember reading the magazine but when ever I was at my grand parents I was playing on pc genius, can still remember the cheesy start up music😅

I also had a frog game which was based around maths I think. I want to say it was Frogger, but it wasn’t like the Frogger games In the traditional sense, I’ve tried looking it up but haven’t been able to find what it was. I remember one activity on there where you had to repair/rebuild a log cabin by answering simple addition and takeaway sums. I’m sure there were other ones but that one must have been my favourite.

There was also another educational kind of pc game thing. I think I got at least one from the school book fair. Can’t remember for the life of me what they were called but each one was ‘themed’. I’m sure I had one about Ancient Rome And I remember my school having one on electricity. It was a lot of point and click type stuff. I’m gonna have to do some digging to see if I can remember the name because it’ll annoy me now.

Adiboo, the original one where it was point and click, you could grow your own crops and make stuff in the kitchen. I’d spend hours making all sorts of weird concoctions most turning out bad.

Disney gave away demo cdroms in cereal boxes I think it was. They were always fun to waste time on. In a weird way I’d love to go back and mess around with some of these old pc programmes. Maybe even show them to my own kids.

I had the Ancient Rome game I think and also an Aztec one....can’t for the life of me remember the name
Of them but I spent hours playing them 😂

I’ve been racking my brains trying to remember this range and finally found it, I used to get this range from Tesco but had both of these pencil cases at school!
Wow that just triggered something buried deep in my brain from the 90s. I definitely had a Funky Friends pencil case and CD rack ... also remember “bang on the door” - I thought I was the coolest kid ever with my groovy chick bedding. God I forgot about that.

Theres a house in my street that still has a milkman, every morning without fail the float SPEEDS down to deliver ONE person milk at like 4am 😓

Toys at the bottom of cereals!

Maybelline dream matte mousse - I know it still exists but can anyone seriously still use it? 😂
A milkman who SPEEDS down your street every morning you say? Well, we all know who that is! 😂 🥛

My primary school (1994-2000) had this really gross cheap pink toilet paper, anyone else ? I wonder if they still have it in schools . I vividly remember all these wet slabs of it stuck to the ceiling from people throwing it up there. I even remember catching a girl doing it once and being shocked, then impressed , then joining in ... 🤭
