Victorian mineral water bottles (codds)

Here's a couple from me...

(sausage, love it! I havn't seen one of those in years )

Some old bottles from a local dairy, whitley bay I think...

Old packets of cigarettes before any warnings!

I don't know if these next pics are OT or not but I've been collecting old packets (and lots of other things!) for years, here's a couple of pics from my home office...

Ooooh a Mac SE! Superb! That was the first computer I really had, a reject from my dad's work. If you have Shufflepuck Cafe I will worship you. Or at least post an appreciative lolcat.

Of course I have shufflepuck cafe !!! That is one bizarre game !!! I have it for that Atari STe on my desk (which I figured out how to image games onto floppes with that old win95 laptop, which has 'proper dos').

Actually I have a couple of Mac Classics, a mac workgroup server, a mac powerPC, an iMac and some new mac stuff, TiBook etc.

I have a heap of retro IT stuff.

Get it here for PC - http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/872 and open it with DOSbox.

And here is your cat (shufflepuck related)

Old packets of cigarettes before any warnings!

Other than the 'TOBACCO SERIOUSLY DAMAGES HEALTH' ones!

Other than the 'TOBACCO SERIOUSLY DAMAGES HEALTH' ones!

haha oh yeah! doh !

...I suppose I meant the more recent 'great big warning stickers'

I hate those damn warning stickers, we all know smoking is bad yadda yadda, but they total ruin the quite often superb design element of the package. Camel cigarettes will never be the same !

 

[BigLoada]

Excellent thread! I love all these old packets etc. I should get some pics of my old bottles up. Love those old tab packets too!

 

[JandChar]

Ahhhhhh Memories!! great thread!!

[daddybear]

the best crisp flavour ever: )

please make them again
anyone any ideas on when the stopped doing them?

wouldnt bovril be just the same as beef flavour!!!

 

[Sabtr]

No they really do taste more like Bovril. I'm sure you can still get this flavour in some places - mind you the code could be years out!

 

[banshee]

wouldnt bovril be just the same as beef flavour!!!

they don't compare,i never eat beef crisps because you keep getting the horrible after taste when you burp,the same thing happens with bacon,never happened with the best flavour ever i would love to know if they are still available,must be 10 years easy since i enjoyed a pack

found these while working on a house in south london
