I had an aunt who smoked these, and in some of the packets was a silk flag. No doubt nations which are long gone. In my loft I have a complete album of those which she gave me, and while looking for this logo spotted how much they sell for! B Hell! Loft ladder at the weekend methinks!

I have this set. I don't know what it's worth. If anything.

I once used the Robertson's Golly as an avatar on the SAGA forum... they asked me to take it down. So I got the needle, and never went back again!
In Joe Orton's What The Butler Saw someone making Green Gollywogs, for reasons of political correctness, may be certified as insane...my American edition has 'tarbabies' instead of 'gollywogs'!

Britain's bum fodder. The time one spent crumpling it to make it a bit softer....

What WAS his name? The joy of going swimming and for one penny you got a squirt of Brylcream to smack on your hair afterwards. A mate discovered he could 'milk' the Brylcream machine by gently sliding the push button in and out. He went home resembling a hairy ice cream!

I mostly remember Comptons in the Brylcreem ads. Terrible gunk it was, really... and with the foul atmosphere we lived in prior to the Clean Air Act, it did a great job of picking up soot and clinging on to it. When you finally washed your hair, the water ran a rich dull black... It was 1965 before I was persuaded to forego the greasy dressing (although I'm pretty sure I had given Brylcreem the elbow before that).
