Transfer Rumours Yann M'Vila

[Gordon Armstrong]

Walls . . . . were those the ones that could make dogs talk ?

 

[Commachio]

The first vans I remember were Walls. They were solid blocks of ice cream. The first of the soft kind was possibly Notarianni in Crowtree Road at the top of the old bus station.

Whippy was the one pretty much took over the vans.

What about villa pop then..

Wasn.t there villa and sykes?

There was mate. Villa sasp and Sykes ginger beer were the ones.

The Sykes ginger beer was in a stone flagon. I had one (wrapped in a sheet) as a hot water bottle as a nipper.

Haha pops. Imagine folks not from sunderland trying to figure out this thread.

Its gone from a french player to ice cream onto pop.

They`ve got no chance.

 

[Brian Storm]

Home delivery?

Yeah, and money back on the bottles.

Pop tasted nicer from glass bottles, at least physiologically they did.

Aye. 3d. (The young`uns will be lost with that one)

 

[Brian Storm]

Aye. 3d. (The young`uns will be lost with that one)

3d? What the **** is that? Is that some kind of oldie worldie money you're talking about? Currency only really old people remember.

 

[Commachio]

Aye. 3d. (The young`uns will be lost with that one)

Nah im lost. But are they both closed?

Thought villa was still going. Of north hylton rd

 

[Gordon Armstrong]

Physiologically, Bri

Yes. Also known as `proper money`.

Exchange rate : 12d = 5p

 

[Gordon Armstrong]

A shilling (or a shullen) or a bob, eh

Haven`t seen it for a while tbh. I think they still supply shops.

 

[Brian Storm]

Yes. Also known as `proper money`.

Exchange rate : 12d = 5p

So 3d=? Go on, work that out.

 

[Gordon Armstrong]

Threepence is now 1.25p

. . . . and you could see them from all angles (3d)

I'd rather smash the bottles. But that shows more about the type of kid I was.

 

[Rick O'Shea]

Nah, Finnish Ice Cream is the best......apparently Fins are No globally in terms of ice cre

Im sticking with minchelas. After all they were in sundetland. On the coast at seaburn. A walk to the ground.

So all things considered.

Didn't Hitler seize there?

That 1.25p was worth having when a decent wage was about £2 per week.

Bag of chips 2.5p
The same 2.5p would get you 10 chews.

That 3d would probably equate to about £1.50 now. A few bottles for a kid at that time was serious wealth.
