Mmm lovely jubbly I really do think it's sugar that causes the probs and not fat. It's far easier to work off fat in the system than it is sugar. Hi CaronYes and it was very tasty. Yummy yummy. I always liked the jelly-like meaty fluid (no doubt iron rich though I would not have known that) which was beneath the fat layer when it had all cooled. I know I'm off going topic but another salty thing I liked was the biscuity things you used to have after a swimming lesson, usually with a mug of hot Bovril. Hi again, Leodian. Your biscuity things have got me scratching my head ? Agree with you though, the bottom of the dripping pot was the best I didn't like the white stuff at all. I think the salty things could have been the salt buscuits that they sold at the kiosk in Armley baths.10 for a penny! Great when you were eating them on your way home! I remember them, a cup of chicken(?) soup from the machine and a bag of salty biscuits. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When I was at Cockburn High School from the mid 1950's to early 1960's the swimming lessons were at Joseph Street baths. That's very likely where I got the salted biscuits.

It seems a that lot of us from Bewerley Street went to Joseph Street Baths - I did too. Salty biscuits, yummy. Not forgetting Wagon Wheels as well!I never used it but my big brother did - a machine that dispensed a dollop of Brylcreem into your hand - yuk!

I keep looking into this topic cos it makes me laugh.A dollop of Brylcream? I dint know a machine was invented todollop owt..lol. It made me laugh I learnt to swim at Kirkstall Rd baths and to be honest, I really don't remember salty biscuits on sale but....maybe your baths were posher than Kirkstall. I was gutted when they demolished the place.I lived in Farsley at one bit and there was a pork butcher there that had breadcakes under a case on the counter. Wonder if Stutterdog remembers the place as he's lived in Fasley a while.

Wonder if Stutterdog remembers the place as he's lived in Fasley a while. Probably Davison's. My godparents had a hardware shop a few doors down Town Street, and I spent a fair bit of time at their house above the shop. I used to play out in the back street with the daughter of Davison's manager. Davison's was a small chain of pork butchers in Leeds/Bradford area. Also remember the Brylcreem machines. I think there was one at Pudsey Baths. If not, must have been Bramley.

Heck, Uno Hoo, small world int it.I don't know the name of the butcher but he did lovely pork pies and sausage rolls and he was a nice chap. I haven't been back to Farsley for a few years but I have Google street viewed it and the shops are nothing like as good as they were. When my husband and I divorced, I didn't need a car as I could get everything I needed on Town Street. That's what really bugs me now, the fact that the bigger stores have taken over yet you've to travel miles to get to them. They wonder why there's no community spirit anymore....that's because there is no such thing as community anymore!

My beloved Auntie and Uncle live in Farsley and I think they find most of what they need in local shops. Farsley does seem to be a good little community with some real pub, shops and tradesmen. Sadly the local shops, pubs and the like are going all over Leeds and being replaced with, well, I'm not sure -- wat are they building since not even flats make any money any more?
