Yellow basilica? what was that used for? and remember germolene in a tin!!

Jackie · « **Reply #35 on:** February 23, 2010, 06:17:19 pm »

And doesnt Germolene smell nice? looks a bit like windowlene though lol

Yellow basilica was used for hand cream at least it was in WW2, so my mum says.

As I recall Yellow Basillica is made from a yellow marble dust and is used in many Italian Basillica/church's

Why would you use the stuff for hand cream? It must have acted as an emolient?

??

PS mum has alzheimers but shes usually good on things from way back.

Lovely, lovely post.
I was born in the fifties, and agree with all you have written.

Memories are wonderful things Pigtail I agree. I was born in the 50's too, '56 to be precise, and in Cyprus when my lovely dad (deceased ) was in the RAF.

We filter out the bad and keep the good. And this thread is too make us all feel good on a cold winters day.

Truly, I think the older we get the more we value memories.

Gawd, yer aw babbies! I was born in the early 40s - a war baby, me! I don't remember any gold top, silver top or the like - we only had one kind of milk in our street. I loevd the malt extract (Virol), which is probably why i am the weight I am now!

Pigtails · « **Reply #42 on:** February 23, 2010, 07:40:22 pm »

Malt extract, yummy, a spoonful on our way out the door, before we went to school!
Until mother knew better than granny and she doscovered halibut orange which I regulary choked on, yugh.
Gimme the malt, granny.
