You took me right back in time there Harold, do you remember the old meat slicer where you could have thick or thin from the big ham or beef joint, then the blocks of cheese ( chedder or cheshire) only choice we had then, they cut it with a cheese wire, then the packets of tea leaves they made up for you, them were the days eh Yes Stevie meat and cheese complete with the shop keepers thumb prints The health and safety police would have them locked up now
