I remember this morning how much my dad hated cats and you are not having one.
We changed the cats name to whisky as my dad had a glass of whisky in his hand and the cat rubbing against his beard. the cat loved his beard and he ended up adoring that cat and whisky. |

My dad was a milkman - I used to help him load the floats up with milk and also bottles of Corona - I would get a bottle for helping!  - I also remember the adverts for Corona - Let's get Fizzical! |

When crisps had competitions you'd look for (and sometimes find) a little sachet in your packet. Never won any money but often won a free pack of crisps. Nowadays it's all about entering your details online so they can bombard you with shít. Just not the same as looking for a sachet.
