Things we don't see anymore

Temperance bars. We used to go to the swimming baths after school and then we would repair to the temperance bar where they sold non alcoholic drinks like Vimto (hot in the winter), various kinds of fruit cordials, and sarsaparilla which he brewed himself. He pulled it like beer in a pub and it had a lovely frothy head on it and a lovely, slightly licquoricy aftertaste. It was very refreshing. He also sold Horlicks and Horlicks tablets (can't get those now either!).

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but I remember my stepfather having all his own equipment for mending shoes, once a month our kitchen became a cobbler`s shop, with brand new leather being cut out and hammered onto shoe soles.

What about the tartan slippers with turn backs, buttons and a pompom?
