Ermmm.  No need to wish, they are still being made.

Yes,I know,I have had a ride on the latest Bonneville but I wish they were as popular as they were 100 years ago.r

Allegedly :D

Oh, he definitely did. But he exaggerated bigtime on his sicknote, to get out of a world tour. 

Ironic, considering how much time he spends on the road nowadays. British gigs in October. I didn't even consider going until the missus expressed an interest. Then I told her the ticket price. 353 quid a head. Get to ****, Bob. 

EDIT: I just realised those are 'resale' prices, i.e. legalised touting. Original price was £60- £80 - which I would have paid, had I known how much Mrs M wanted to see him.

It's apparently 33C here right now but I get the impression that it's cooled a couple of degrees since I went for a luke warm bath and it's clouded over a bit too

So, what product do you want to bring back? (Affordable gigs for me, before you ask).

Regular Listerine. The only proper astringent mouthwash. Now you can only get sticky ones, in fifty flavours of mint. 

This. 

I only like the yellow one, looks like piss and tastes like acid. Superb.

And it's been banned in the UK. Still available in the US.

Actually, maybe I got that bit wrong - I had it in my head there was some sort of health and safety thing with one of the ingredients. The makers say it's due to no demand for it. I call bullshit.

Define affordable.

Because there are plenty of them around for £20 or less a ticket, but they won’t be well known or highly acclaimed, obvs.

2p mini diary milk machine?

It's a great shout. Definitely needs to come back.

It was a small-size, imitation vending machine. You stocked it up with celebration-size mini bars of Cadbury's and then paid 2p for it to vend one at a time. (Although this example has 10p, fecking inflation)

Oh, I know. It was just a joke about me going off topic. I go to loads of local gigs by mostly unknown bands. Plus the occasional 'big name'.

I had a jubbly only last week. 

Was on the small side though, about 60% of the original size.

Last guy I knew who used regularly it was a retired Navy sailor. He swears by it. Kind of medicinally old school, like Fisherman's Friends, which are like your Victory lozenges. Also stolen and sipped by street drunks here, but few know that.
