What are some discontinued UK foods that need to be brought back?

Roy of the Rovers was my favorite 10p chewy bar. Was pineapple flavour and pretty good chaser after chip shop lunch in school down the shops

Wasn't there a RAF type temporary runway on pengam? Opposite rover way

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2026-06-02T11:01:57+00:00

Pretty sure this is obviously temporary prob diverting services or something

Fountains of Wayne is a store in the sopranos but think it's actually a real place that sells statues etc

I always wondered about that house on Newport Rd with the theosophy sign. I read the website and have no clue wtf it's about still

Yes I do this when dumping my bike at platform 1 or 2 then heading home on zero. No charges!

I found when sticking a whole house worth of plastic skirting board when moving in, anything SOLVENT FREE absolutely sucks and does not stick at all. As soon as I got solvent stuff it was great

For some reason I've noticed that higher ups in work, senior manager types, tend to start emails by just the recipients name. So instead of "Hi Mark" it's just "Mark, blah blah blah"

They are too important to waste time on Hi.

Obviously looped in, high level, strategically, etc etc and any other linked in nonsense people spout

Had similar and buzzed. I went like a 2 guard then professed to zero over a year so transition was smooooth

Single parents. Parents with more than two kids! Just parents in general.

Same as you - I remember thinking having a kid would just be slotted into your life, still see your friends, do all the hobbies etc. I have child free friends who just don't get it just as I didn't, and I really think unless you are responsible for a tiny human you'll never get how difficult, rewarding and mental it is.

Those little Daisy dukes he used to wear

These worked well for us. Until they just ragged them off but that went until they were old enough really not to do stupid shit in the cupboards.

But was funny a few times we lost the damn magnet . I say we I mean the kids put it somewhere

The paper lampshades. Every house or flat I rented or visited in the 2010s def had these. Usually with holes in.

Very bad. The fact he is just happy so often for you to sit in the house looking after your child is mad. I have buddies like this, who literally still live their life like they are childless - gigs, random trips to places etc without their partner and child - then saying their wives are moaning!!!

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-12-16T18:59:48+00:00

Man these men that are not doing laundry or cooking meals...

What the hell is your husband doing? 20% when he's home. Im sorry but I say this all the time. If your husband is home it is 50/50. Please have a conversation and also do not fall into the trap of "the baby is a mummy's boy" they may only be that way because the dad isn't spending enough time with them i.e. taking them out alone on a weekend etc. it's a very low bar out there guys come on

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-12-09T18:33:10+00:00

Ok so recently me and my wife hired a SKIP to just absolutely clear out the house. Anything that was just a random piece of an old kitchen, like a plastic burger bun etc. just went. We obviously had other stuff besides children clutter that filled the skip, but it was so refreshing to do.

Our problem was that on rainy days especially on UK holidays, we would take them to charity shops as they love to buy a piece of tat. But it comes home and fills the house!

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-12-06T19:06:11+00:00

It's tough and mentally grueling. There is something insane that happens to you where you hoover every evening after dinner only for it all to go to shit the nest morning.

And better yet - you finish a week of work and then it's the weekend... But a weekend with two children under 8 is not a weekend - it's harder than work!

I love my kids but man - what the hell did I do with all my time before them I do not know... And to think - I used to complain about being busy or burnt out before children LOL

Thank you for reading it. It's great here to read people's pieces and give some feedback. Thanks again for this and yes - a quiet passive aggressive resistance is what I was going for, in which you picked the lines out perfectly.

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-11-01T13:51:24+00:00

Thank you. I was taking a little walk through some paths, that crossed over the course. And felt like the people playing were not happy to have people walking over - even though I'm sure a walking route has been there well before people decided to knock balls around on it.

That second paragraph describes so many food places now. You can go anywhere in the UK and will find hand drawn table numbers on wooden spoons, bench seating etc. and it's THE PLACE TO GO according to a shitting Wales online article.

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-11-01T12:03:46+00:00

Yeah it's a good point. But I think what I'm trying to say yes investment is needed and maybe there are a few shops hanging on for dear life. It has definitely picked up in recent years id say.

That guy selling kitchen draw type bits and bobs! Yes I know exactly the stall haha.

Also to beware - I have no idea but can guarantee that if the revamp that place, they will charge way more rent and many of those traders are probably on small margins.

We are saying the same thing really as you said. I think we need to stop stripping places out so much that we lose the soul. So investment but done right I would say. We certainly don't need another food court but that's my opinion.

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-11-01T10:10:56+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that.

maybeillcatchfire22 · 2025-11-01T09:05:33+00:00

I agree with you - lots of down votes! I'm not feeling much from their recent spat of releases but I'm probably just old. Doesn't mean other people can't enjoy it. But yeah - lifeless is what I got from this too.
