Gosh I remember the Iranian embassy siege on the news! A while back I did a couple of training courses run by Bob P who was behind the SAS embassy operation. An incredible guy. He must be over 70 now but he was throwing himself to the ground and rolling about, demonstrating methods of dealing with terrorists armed with pistols etc. Made us late 40s/early 50s guys look decrepit he did. Much respect.
Sweet cigarettes! Yeah how were they allowed? I think they are called candy sticks now, but as they tasted like a stick of blackboard chalk, the only reason for them was trying to look grown up by emulating all the adults and actors who smoked back then.
Wasn’t there another thing which was basically Chewing tobacco? Skoal Bandits or something.
And does anyone remember the Golden Nuggets chewing gum that came in a little bag as if you’d been prospecting in America?
