I remember it well and my mate at work is 7 years younger than I and also remembers themed lunchboxes.
We also remember the themos they came with that took a third of the room inside! What was that all about? I drank tea as a kid but were kids meant to have a great big thermos of tea with them to prepare them for working life on a building site? You couldn't fit a decent meal in one with the flask in.
I've just been reminded if it today. Why a giant flask?

Same here, Mick. Except mine would have been Bejams. None of the flash sh it. One round of meat paste sandwiches on Sunblest medium white, some s hit own brand crisps, an apple, a Ski yoghurt, and if if was a school trip: a club biscuit and a Cola Panda Pop. Happy fu king days.

I’m surprised you are still alive.
You’ve just reminded me Konk - we were a fish paste family - Shippams, I believe; I’ll check the spelling tomorrow. Advert was weird, something about a nice pot of tea. Never understood it. We were also partial to a club biscuit - orange was the jackpot.

You know, I sometimes get a yearning for Shippam's fish paste, still found in supermarkets. I'm planning on eating a lot more of that sort of crap once the kids leave home and I don't have to do all that nutritious meal stuff.
Orange club biscuits were also great, I only ever got them as part of a packed lunch in the holidays. Schooldays it was school dinners, lunch boxes didn't enter into it.

Salt cured beef brisket, usually spiced. Actually, quite a time consuming and expensive meal compared to boiling (back) bacon. But, my dear old mother came from farming stock who ate and butchered all their own meat, so what I consumed as a kid looked like this...

“I’m surprised you are still alive”
Mate, you should have seen what we had for tea...
Other sandwich fillings: corned beef, garage/Nan ham, and boiled egg. Strangely, never cheese.
Club biscuit hierarchy: Orange (the fuc king don), Mint, Plain, and then the black currant one. What a sh it idea that one was.
Fulham FC: It's the taking part that counts

My Nan used to make me corned beef and tomato sandwiches and I loved ‘em. One day she says “we’re out of tomatoes shall I just do you a corned beef sandwich?” Of course I said thinking nothing of it. The first bite I spat out realising all along I’d been eating some kind of rank salted cable-knit cardigan passing itself off as meat but up until then only getting away with it with the cunning assistance of a tomato. I’ve been a vegetarian now for 37 years.
