Something else you don't see nowadays are "Pea and Pie Shops" I don't mean chippies that sell pies and mushy peas. I mean dedicated shops that sold only pies and peas. There used to be one in Morley on Fountain Street, I know there used to be one in Kirkgate Market - but that wouldn't be open on an evening. The last real Pea and Pie Saloon I remember closed in the eighties, it was on Bradford Road in Batley. They sold pork, meat, steak and kidney pies and pasties with proper (NB Fevlad) mushy peas.

That would be Pope's Pie & Peas in the market, at the bottom of the Pets corridor (apt).

"Mobile" phones the size of a brick in their own briefcase with a car battery and a whip aerial.

Often used it as a cheap alternative to white spirit for cleaning paint brushes, not any more - found some at the Garden Centre, a couple of years ago at nearly a pound a litre - more than petrol was!

I certainly used to go into a pea and pie shop on Carlisle Road in the eighties. The Beaulah used to do pretty good pie and peas in the eighties.

The range of bottled beers Tetleys did up to the late sixties. Tetleys Family Ale, Tetleys Dinner Ale, are two examples that come to mind.
