    My mum has an old roasting tin that is older than me and it scrubs up like brand new every time, I bought one with a top chefs name on it and the extremely thin enamel layer is scratched and chipped already.

    What else don't they make like they used to ?

    Wagon Wheels used to be twice the size Smile

    flower Biscuit tins !!! the old ones kept all fresh for ages and pinged when children try'd to pinch them I should know as my gran knew when I was pinching They just don't make em like they used to 9639063 but even the plastic ones leave contents soggy affraid so once a packet is opened they must be consumed do not like waste They just don't make em like they used to 3462454224 They just don't make em like they used to 3462454224 They just don't make em like they used to 3462454224

    our biscuit tins were always old quality street tins etc but with 7 of us in the house they didn't have to keep stuff fresh for long lol

    wagon wheels were def bigger before and so were snowballs, do you remember them?

    Bovril comes in two forms.
    After repeated stays in hospital and finding I'd grown fond of Bovril I bought some and found I didn't like it. The stuff you get in a jar is different to the powdered stuff used in catering. Alas you can't buy powdered Bovril I did find a cheap tat shop with packs of three cups of Bovril to add water to. Deep Joy.

    It's true, so much stuff now is designed not to last. Our most reliable car is nearly 50, our best cool box is nearly 50, one of our telescopes is nearly 40, the list goes on. Did they make computers in the 60's? Suspect
