It was scary when you think about it, they used to walk into the pub I worked in with a tray of open polystyrene cups on it with cockles or mussels in them soaked in vinegar!!  There was no way of knowing where the hell they came from or how long he had been trying to sell them!!!  Yet people always bought them!!

Loved them with plenty of vinegar and a pint er stoonzes. Liked whelks too.

We are made of sterner stuff than the play station generation   There's nowt like playing out as a kid and ingesting all the dirt and grime that goes with it to ward off "intolerance's" in later life   The PS generation have lived a sanitised life and have no immune system 

Bring on the whelks 

and the Stones'   but not the Wards 

I played out and played PlayStation in equal amounts

Hardly ever get ill either. Couple of Christmases ago my whole family got norovirus apart from me who then had to look after everyone

and I can handle a pint of stones
