Cassettes with road test reviews.

One of the car magazines gave away cassettes with Stirling Moss circuit testing road cars, I still have them, a Sierra Cosworth, Saab 9000 and a few others.

Similar to a review of the TT on vinyl, sounds of the bikes and interviews.

Got an Austin Rover cassette somewhere with Mel Smith and Gryff Rhys Jones doing a review of the Metro, or possibly Maestro? Tesla are missing a trick here!

Was that the tape that was given away free to anyone purchasing a Ford Sierra? Was called 'Don't worry, it could be worse', or something like that...

Was it only Coventry where an ice-cream was usually referred to as a D Di?

Instant tea. Tasted vile, apparently. Limited to the cheapest B&Bs, then largely vanished for a decade or two.

My son would kill for that, he loves that taste...

I've not tried that, though there was an instant tea with milk incorporated, which was better than nothing. It was close though.

My grandparents always had Camp coffee (and chicory), which has a unique taste, particularly with sterilised milk. It's still used for cake making etc I believe, though I'm surprised the bottle hasn't been brought up to date.

OMFG!
I remember my Mum having this at home in the 70s.
It was only used on "special occasions" as it was "expensive" - so it was rarely opened!
We were a single parent / income household, living in council housing until 1984....

It was brought 'up to date' (i.e. made more compatible with the views of the League of the Professionally Offended) more than ten years ago.
