I've had similar at PP No, I just wouldn't automatically assume it's genuine without any identifying features in the photo when I've seen similar posts doing the rounds that have been fakes. To be fair, the red railing could be an identifying factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadAmster Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Threepenny bits. Rhymes with tits. Much in the same way Frog n Toad is Road, apples n pears is stairs, battle cruiser is boozer. Mucker's little journey is interesting and amusing and well thought out but threepenny bits and tits is Cockney Rhyming, pure and simple (the rhyming that is, not me owd Mucker 😉 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyram Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Back in the 80's (84 I think) we were hammered 5-1 away at Barnsley. It is a match that has always stuck in my mind, not for the football but the half time soup. There was a hut on the away end selling some indescribable grey 'soup' ladled from a big vat that looked like it had come straight from the gulag, I swear to this day that I saw an eye ball floating in it i-Ram, Day, Chester40 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 At the back of the Popside in the early 70s and longer we'd buy a cup of Beef Drink...Beef Drink my arse 😬, Anyway on a cold day is was a welcome warm up for your stomach, Until you got to the last swallow...then a slurry of thick mudish looking stuff, You could use it for planting your Roses 😁, Outside was the hot dog/ Burger sellers, Nowt like a soggy burger or a limp looking sausage to make your day 😁 We were served up with some crap in yesteryear without a single moan, I think that's what makes me pleased when I get a deal...👍 richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Had a sausage roll at Everton from a bag that said contains 26% meat. Also had a scouse pie at Liverpool that I assumed had a bottom, till I took the silver tray off and it spilt over my b******* at 100 degrees. Even the Levis and -5 temperature couldn't subdue it's wrath. Last time I try something exotic at football. i-Ram, Miggins and Mucker1884 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
