If we are discussing crisp nostalgia, we must not forget Discos and probably more importantly Smiths Square Crisps. I think both are still available, and we are obviously (it goes without saying) talking salt and vinegar flavour. In both cases, they taste only of vegetable oil, salt and vinegar. There is no troublesome potato flavour to mask the taste of the additives.

I am intrigued by your reference to swimming pools too - the best crisps I have ever tasted were purchased from the pool vending machine. back in the days when I did either activity, having a fag after a swim was a pretty great experience too.

Don't you do those poncey adult, dinner party crisps? -= Y'know sour cream and lychee flavour kettle crisps or whatever?

Yuck! Kettle Chips! Revolting!

What about Frazzles - those little bacony type things? And prawn cocktail Skips!

Lovely!

I do have a soft spot (called my stomach) for Kettle Chips, admitedly, but no nostalgia. Frazzles on the other hand... whoah, cub camp memories are flooding in right now!

Hopefully in thirty-odd years I'll be feeling masses of nostalgic for crispy root vegetable crisps that we sometimes get on hospitality at work... exquisite.
