Occasionally. In the pub.
I worked out once that spuds converted to crisps cost about £20 grand a ton!

I'll bet you are a no frills ,plain crisp man, JJ........ Just with salt. When I were a wee young un my dad had a job working for a firm that made crisps. My sister and I would earn about 1 old penny per hundred for putting salt in little squares of blue waxed paper and twisting them up. I soon found more interesting things to do.... Child labour is nothing new! |

Ah the magic of Smith's Crisps, in a semi-transparent bag that crackled, and always with a little blue one that was too salty... like ice-cream and bananas, we kids never saw them until after the war (no, clever-clogs, not the Boer War...) PS Actually the best crisps I ever had came still warm from the oven where they had been cooking with the joints of beef, picking up the meat flavour... that was at the New Stanley Hotel, in Nairobi, and they were complimentary along with one's purchase of a cold Tusker Lager. It was very expensive there, mind - a seven course lunch set you back seven whole shillings... even in the late Fifties that wasn't a bad deal!  Christmas, 1957 |

Child labour is nothing new! They were the best crisps, unsalted Smiths with the blue tab of salt - sometimes the salt did not spread fully and you found the crisps that were covered in a lot of salt. Ideal with home made ginger beer whatever happened to those lumps of "ginger beer plant" that you just added water to and made you own Back to crisps, and then along came Golden Wonder which were very good but now seem to have vanished |
