Those Were The Days

Those really were the days when Liptons re-opened its doors at 52 Tonbridge High Street (Vodaphone now occupies the premises).

This was a time when butter was not only 1/- a pound (I think that's about 10p in today's money), it was also 'the best and purest in the world'.

This was a time when recycling was all sorted out, and customers were charged for glass jam jars which were refunded on their return. Simple really!

I don't have a date for this ad but I would guess it's post rationing, so maybe late 1950's or 1960's.

And, by the way, whatever did happen to greengage jam?
