Hi 4get, i don`t remember those.

I used to collect tea cards from PG Tips. Theyre worth a bit these days. Whenever i open a new packet of tea the smell takes me right back to my childhood.

Ah ye, Sticky vicky and the gang!!! Had a bubble gum inside the pach too!

[andrea81]

sorry 'pack' not pach!!!

[4getmenot]

yes andrea they did. I still have some stickers in my scrap book. Hau my nan used to give us the pg tips cards, I remember the mysteries of the unexplained ones with Big Foot and those girls with the fairies at the bottom of the garden

We were so poor the only things I could collect were "dog ends" bus tickets that people threw away and go bus spotting :-(

Yes red I never went on one, :-( but I did run after the horse and cart to collect the straw doughnuts, had tons of it in my tin bath but at least it was free and kept us warm when we slept under it.
