RNS Tal Handaq -Is this the "Pop Shop"
|
|
I seem to remember the little building with the road
guard being used as the Tuck Shop in the late 50's. I also seem to remember it being called the Pop Shop rather than the Tuck Shop. Have I just dreamt this up - or am I right? Would really appreciate some feedback if anybody out there does remember.
While we're on the subject of pop, does anyone
remember the competition that Coca Cola (or was it Pepsi) supposedly ran in 1959/60 where you had to check under the bottle-top cork for a red, yellow, green or blue image of a bottle. You stood to win 2/6, 5/-, 10/- or £1. Was this for real or just a schoolboy invention? I know I always checked to see if I'd won anything ...probably still would if Coke still came in bottles.
I have since received several emails which confirm
that this little building was the Pop Shop/Tuck Shop until at least 1977. |
