When I was a kid and went to see my grandmother, as a treat she would pick an apple off her tree,peel it,stick it on a fork and dip it in sugar before giving it to me!

No wonder I've had so much trouble with my teeth!!!

We did a similar thing with the Rhubarb patch at the bottom of the garden, a stick of Rhubarb and a bowl of sugar

Yes my dentist has built a 2nd home thanks to me

The Talk Radio Host Iain Lee tells a funny story of how his mother warmed up olive oil to pour into his ear, but it was too hot when she poured it in

sugar butties !

pretty much every meal included a plate of bread and butter and for 'afters' we'd often just take a slice, dip the buttered side into the sugar bowl and eat it

My mum did warm the oil but she also put warm salt in a hankie, tied it and we held it behind the sore ear

Pork dripping sandwiches - no bloody way would I even attempt to look at one now let alone consume it - but then they tasted just great.

It cost about 50 centimes but was the best thing about weekly swimming lessons”

We would always have a vending machine drink after swimming, basically the same range of flavours but you could choose to have it flat or fizzy. I always had the blackcurrant, can still remember the taste and intense colour.

At high school, we had chips after swimming as it was later in the day - yum!
