When I was a kid we used to put halfpennies on the railway lines to convert them into pennies to use in the Beech Nut chewing gum machines.

Vending machines were much less sophisticated (and kids more stupid) back in the 1950s.

Happy days.

Happy days.

Indeed. And speaking of happy days, I vividly remember the one when my mate Tim Emery and I were rummaging about in our sideboard and found half a crown in a jamjar full of foreign coins.

Needless to say I didn't tell Mater, opting instead to pocket it and sprint for the sweetie shop on the corner.

Half a crown bought a hell of a lot of four-a-penny blackjacks and fruit salads back then...

But didn't button B randomly dispense old penny coins?

Yes, you're right, it did. Ha! I'm such a cheapskate, I used to go around pressing Button B in all the phone boxes. Soon got enough for a frozen jubbly! I still do the same now, with carpark ticket machines. But I've gone past the jubbly stage I'm afraid.

And was it a Topic that made a shilling go a long long way?

Outside my remit, guv.

Can't stand nutty chocolates.

Give me a paper bag full of flying saucers any day

Maybe it was a West Riding thing? 'Kali' = sour lemonade crystals sold loose from a large jar in conical paper bags; 'Spanish' = sticks of hard licquorice with a flattened end.

Method: suck Spanish, dip in kali, suck, repeat until sick.

I use Chrome on my Android device and the tools button (three dots,top right) and "request desktop site" does the same thing if you forget your German!

I'm using Firefox and have only just discovered 'request desktop site' command. When checked it goes back to normal.

Many thanks.

We'd call that a dab and sucker, but the dab and sucker was made of Cali and Spanish, just as you say.

And it was Poppets that made a shilling go a long long way, not a Topic. A Topic had a hazelnut in every bite, leading to the joke "Q: What has a hazelnut in every bite? A: Squirrel shit."
