Tuck Shops?

[Oggy]

Who remembers Tuck Shops from schooldays, and what did you buy? I remember buying Jammy Dodgers and Taxi (Chocolate wafrer bars.) and Captain Scarlet wafers too

Happy days! I remember buying Blue riband,football crazy snacks,burtons potato puffs and wagon wheels,which were huge it seemed. why they are still marketed is a mystery as I never see anyone eating them anymore

[Oggy]

Burtons Potato Puffs, loved them , barbercue beef? You're right about the Wagon Wheels too, seemed as big as erm wagon wheels, and Tudor crisps, supposedly very strong flavored I recall pickled onion ones.

Those Tunnocks wafer bars and the Terry's version of the kit kat. Think it was called Waifa. Used to come in milk or plain choc.

Dont think you can buy either anymore.

We used to buy home-made, or should I say school-made pasties in a bread roll - lovely.

Taxi's and Breakaways, Club biscuits too.

Re: Tuck Shops?

I had about 25p a day to spend on sweets at the School Tuck Shop. I usually bought a Choc Dip or maybe Outer Spacer crisps.

Btw, take a look at this book, The Great British Tuck Shop.

Re: Tuck Shops?

We had a tuck shop at our school for a while but it got broke in to and so they stopped it ( it was a rough old place) so a few of the more buisness minded kids started there own one ( every break in the boys toilets) selling shop bought sweets at inflated prices .... went well till they got busted
