Marathon Bars became 'Snickers' in about 1990
Smiths Crisps are still available
Opal Fruits became Starburst in about 2001
and Rowntrees Fruit Gums are still available

all of which forces me to Shop at a FineFare Supermarket, using a checkout till with mechanical buttons and a totalling button that goes KERRRR-CHINNNNG! and opens the cash drawer (where there is a compartment for half-pence pieces).

Arkwright's till with it's mousetrap like One Pound Note clip, in Open All Hours. [pen] that compartment would have originally been for tanners.

Pen] Marathon bars and Opal Friuts were launched in the 70s. Smiths Crisps have been bought up by Walkers (have you bought a pack of salt'n'shake recently). They, like Rowntrees Fruit Gums were at the top of their popularity in the 70's. Well, with me anyway. Rowntrees are now a sub-division of (yah-spit) Nestle.
If you are going for FineFare - I shall retailate with Key Markets. Nah nah!

Which window will it be today? - The Arched window! Fade out to chocolate factory production line/ Jean Tinguely kinetic sculpture.

[BtD] I consider myself trounced by your last move - this is one of the most one-upmanshippish games in the Morniverse! I move paper mice and bearded presenters...Fingerbobs!

Magpie... sing alon now...

One For Sorrow,
Two For Joy,
Three for a Girl and
Four for a boy,
Five for Silver,
Six for Gold,
Seven is a secret never to be told,
Eight's a wish and
Nine's a kiss,
Ten is a bird that you must not miss

Flowery Twats, er, I think I meant Fawlty Towers.

Corny jokes to the fore! It's Rentaghost.

I reckon it's about time for a Rock Against Racism concert.
