Subject: frozen jubblies

Jubblies were basically orange juice in a waxed cardboard container about 4inches on a side (a tetrahedron). There were two ways to eat/drink them. Frozen - cut/tear the corner off and suck the ice like a giant ice lolly - used to take ages, and you ended up with a sticky lump of ice with all the orange juice sucked out of it, or unfrozen - cut the corner off and try to drink it without getting it all over your face...... from the dictionary of Playground slang http://www.odps.org/slangj.html: jubbly, jubblie, jubilee n. confection (usually purchased from Ice Cream van) consisting of frozen TipTop fruit drink in plastic container. f. Jubbly (trade name of orange drink in triangular wax cartons)

Subject: Those Broken Crisps

I've noticed that a number of people have referred to those wonderful broken crisps. I roared at somebody's suggestion they were the crack cocaine of the '50's . But nobody has remembered Frozen Jubblies. Can't remember how much they were but in those hot summers (were they always hot ?) they were exquisite.

Subject: Driving test

Had another message in from Adrian Monti (he who featured two of our pupils in Woman Magazine):

What was it like when you learnt to drive?
What do you remember about learning to drive and your driving test? If you have a tale to tell, amusing, a series of failures, the odd disaster or somehow you got through it, you may be able to help with a feature for WOMAN magazine. We are looking to chat to women drivers who have passed and have a tale to tell or passed in the 1940/50/60/70/80/90’s. For the older ones, maybe parents, grandmothers or other older relatives you might want to ask to help out. We also need you to have a photo of the car you first had after you leant (or even the one you learnt in!) to illustrate the article for which you even get PAID a small sum for helping out. So if you can help, or have any older relatives who passed and have an old family snap in an album somewhere, please get in touch. Feel free to circulate this posting!
Please contact me, Adrian Monti on 01273 777693 or at adrian@amonti.freeserve.co.uk
Thanks again

As Geoff Gillon probably knows we have finally moved. We are now living in Swaffham in Norfolk, and the difference is unbelievable-it is so peaceful.
