If you've never tried a Cornish pasty Joel, you' re missing a treat. When you next visit the British Isles try to venture into Cornwall and places like St Ives and St Michael's Mount which have a character all their own. In St Ives the pasty shops not only make the original version, but also with other fillings such as lamb and mint, chicken and bacon etc.
Greggs sausage rolls are truly moreish if you've never had one. They also do a meat- free version too which is supposed to be equally good.
I used to love eating out at the Little Chefs back in the day. They did a wonderful mixed grill with burger, bacon, sausage etc. However, that also was partly the reason for their demise as the British taste in food changed and moved towards more healthy eating, lower fat and vegetarian/vegan options.
So the show depicted with the Party 7 is "life on Mars" it and its sequel "Ashes to Ashes" are worth watching as they are a depiction of life in the 70s and 80s in the UK.
I love my Henry vacuum cleaner! I've had him for nearly 20 years, and he's still going strong, bless him!
Henry hoovers suck. 😊
The cornish pasty was made for cornish mine worker as they could work and hold the pasty. Years back, they even did a savoury and sweet version.
I remember being in a pub when a local football team had played an end of season charity cricket match and the whole team were drinking individual party sevens. At the time they would have been in division one and I think I’m right in saying at that time most teams did their training in the local pub. There was also a party four brought out for the lightweight
Watneys beer was pisswater. The thing about a party 7 was that you took it to a party. Unfortunately, these cans had to be opened with a triangular can opener. These became obsolete when ring pulls appeared. So Party 7's were still being sold, and taken to parties, long after nobody had a triangular piercing can opener in the house. This led to many impromptu can opening efforts often using screwdrivers, hammers, chisels and the like. This was a recipe for disaster considering the frequently advanced state of inebriation of the beer opening committee in the kitchen.
I remember it well, a beer we often drank in our wee gang huts when 14/15 the thought of drinking it now? no chance
The Party Seven scene is from a TV series Life On Mars, You would love it, it was made in 2006 about a cop who is in an accident and gets transported back to 1970s, I have just finished watching it on iplayer, very non PC, funny and brilliant 70s soundtrack, started on the follow up Ashes To Ashes (note titles are David Bowie songs)
Apparently the US had their own version of "Life on Mars", which starred Harvey Keitel. Their version wasn't any good and got cancelled, what a surprise?
You want to watch “life on Mars” which was the program that showed the 7 pint tin of beer 👍🏼
In my student days the ideal gift to the party was a Party 7. If you were on your own, you could purchase the Party 4, which if I remember correctly was a tin with blue livery. 4 pints in a tin.
As a child, we lived five minutes walk from Gosforth High Street, so Greggs, in those days their first and only branch, was our local bakery- I remember those photos in the video well. Little did I think it would become a national phenomenon...
So Joel, 15 shillings is from pre-1971 when we had Pounds, shillings and pence in 1971 we went decimal. So 15 shillings is 75 pence.
I do remember the Party 7. You had to used a hammer & nail or a screwdriver to make a hole to pour it out and had a good chance of it spraying over you if you didn't watch out. Bloody awful stuff, but, hey, I was a stupid teen at the time. Watney's had some right ropey keg bitters like Red Barrel too. Another big seller of the 60s & 70s was Double Diamond. oh, and Long Life too, made by Ind Coope.
Gregg's sausage rolls are very popular but I have no idea why. the pink, spongey stuff that masquerades as sausage meat is vile. find a nearby butcher and get proper sausage rolls x
You can get an overnight sleeper train to Cornwall from London. There are seating carriages too if you're on a budget.
The show with the Party 7 clip is Life On Mars, which would be a great replacement for Line of Duty, Joel.
Yeah, you need to watch Life On Mars. Little Chef - Awful expensive food. Party 7 - Possible the worst beer ever. Blobby - Annoying. Cornish Pasties - Excellent!
It was nicknamed Little Thief - far too expensive 😂
My son worked in our local Little thief before going to uni.We sometimes called it little shite! Lol!
Little chef was predominantly a roadside cafe, a lot of them were situated on motorways. But over time they were replaced by McDonald's, Burger King and KFC which were becoming more popular at the time.
UK pint is 25% larger than US pint, 20 fl oz v 16 fl oz.
When I was in the Royal Air Force we used to take it in turn to have parties in our married quarters. The idea was everyone would bring a bottle of spirits and the host would supply the beer. We used to fill the bath with cold water and dump the 7 pint cans into the bath and get one out when required. That was between 1972 and 1977.
WALT! ;) Anyone with Forces knowledge will correct you, the Bath for a Crab party would be filled with Champers and Pink Gin! Love 'The Senior Service'
@@izzyroberts5518 Not quite. Some of my married colleagues that were basic mechanics, mainly LAC's after trade training, were drawing "Supplimentary Benefit" because their wage was so poor back in the mid to late seventies.
Party 7 was piss in a can😅
The advantage of the House of Lords, as with Canada's senate and Germany's Bundesrat for example, is that each member is chosen for his/her experience and specialist expertise. They don't have to curry favour. As their powers are less than those of MPs, elected members still retain the final say, but may listen to views expressed by individuals with more technical/legal/academic/lifetime experience. If the Lords was elected, the fight for superiority between two equally legitimate, elected chambers might create deadlock, as is often seen in the US.
Yeah but they should be staff not part of a house.
Absolute nonsense. The vast majority are freeloaders who have done nothing except line the pockets of various prime ministers and political parties, others were born into their positions and have never done an honest days work in their lives. Corrupt through and through.
@@vtbn53 Nah they're a good check and balance something we need right now, they can't outright veto a law just slow its potential passing and make suggestions.
@ That's what call the senate, all elected.
@ Still beholden to a political party then? Just makes things worse, if the lords didn't have political appointment it would be perfectly fine. They're people with no ties to anyone who can't be fired so they do things as an individual as soon as you bring elections and parties into that you just end up with another house of commons. Democracy isn't always the answer.
Mr Blobby was a character for adults initially used in comedy set ups of ‘celebrities’ on A very good Saturday evening to show, it was brilliant
I was born in 88, Mr Blobby was my childhood. I actually went to blobby land, to see the blobby houses and blobby family 😂
Joel, you should really watch Life on Mars. It was a TV series in 2008-2009 about a lot of un PC cops, in the 1970's. One of them is a policeman who's gone back in time to the '70s
Ashes to Ashes is the 80's series of this.. not everyone liked it but I did. On one episode they wreck the Blue Peter garden which was a children's magazine program at the time that was vandalised
@@helenroberts1107 I liked Ashes to Ashes !
@@helenroberts1107 Rumour has it,it was a local teenage gang,incl. eventual(and future) England football international members Les Ferdinand and Dennis Wise ! 😂😂🤣🤣😅😅
We have Henry the Hoover's 'sister' vac, Hetty. They're all strangely cute. Sturdy and reliable but extremely heavy, to lug about so hubby does the hoovering as I'm disabled!
Mr Blobby had a No.1 single for goodness sake! Weird thing he is. My favourite Blobby related memory will always be as a kid, we'd go to the family disco at the local social club on a Saturday night. One week, some bloke turned up in a knock-off Blobby costume that was even more terrifying than the original thing. All us kids proceeded to jump on the poor fella and beat him up, all because we hated that bloody character haha!
Party 7's were commonly taken to parties where people were asked to bring a bottle. They would end up in the kitchen where all the other booze people contributed ended up. They weren't very good beer but were reasonably cheap. Other brands also did 4 pint cans for the same purpose.
Little Chefs were actually quite expensive for the type of food they served. They were largely put out of business by better value operations such as McDonalds, Burger King, KFC etc.
Cornish pasties are just meat and potato pies made ina particular shape that was originally useful for the Cornish tin miners to take for lunch. Tin mining could conterminate the miners hands with arsenic, so they held the pie by the crust to eat the meat and potato part and threw the crust away. You can buy them anywhere in the country now in places like Greggs, or supermarkets but they have to call them pasties, not Cornish Pasties unless they are made in Cornwall.
Little Chef was so much a part of my working life. The chance of a half decent meal after a long day's work to break up the long trip home.
Why did they go? Too long to get the meal in a fast stop world. The growth of motorway service areas taking traffic off the A Roads (where LC dominated)
My first job was cooking in a Little Chef in 1985. It was mad. We were on the A64 main road to the Yorkshire coast (Scarborough, Whitby, Bridlington etc) and on sunny summer weekends and Bank Holidays the A64 would literally be backed up and people queuing round the car park for hours just to get in to our place. It was the only place for miles that you could park up and get out of the car and away from your yawping kids. I've always thought that the LC died out when the British seaside holiday became outdated, plus when it became more socially acceptable to take your kids into pubs, and of course the onset of drive-through Maccys.
You need a full week at the very least for Cornwall as there is so much history there. You absolutely must do Looe (shown on your pic there with the family sat on the bridge) and Polperro with its smuggling stories, all of Cornwall is a must so you have to choose wisely and the 'Best of British' doing it - that means Good Luck!
The crust on a Cornish pasty wasn't eaten by the tin miners as they worked with arsenic and so the crust prevented them from ingesting poison.
Simple Scottish Living is a brilliant channel that shows how much better local shops are than chains. Well worth a watch.
Being as you asked ! My hubby used to buy this stuff and never complained, his mate partook of it too that is when they weren't brewing their own! Have you heard of that before Joel? I can still recall him collecting the 40 empty bottles needed to hold the beer once it had fermented. Joy - NOT!
Little chef was a bit like a Denny’s (but not as good!) or maybe like Applebees. They were basically only located on A roads and maybe motorway stations.
Another blooming brilliant, fun video Joel.
I had almost forgotten about Mr. Blobby, but Colin the caterpillar. Fond memories.
Griggs is delicious
They laughed out Bentley mega chippy or Nando’s. The butterfly burger.
As for a little chef, I think they just bit off more than they can shoe opening too much locations. & then the thingy didn’t help. Happy Eater was there a big competitor. Spoons is on a different level. It’s a gastropub.
I’d say a little chef was more like a Marie Callender‘s or Cocos. Pastry and casual diner breakfast. Like an American Denneys. It’s not fancy but it was fun and affordable
I have 2 Greggs within a 3 min walk of each other in my local town centre. One of them used to be the superior version of Greggs called Bakers Oven.
I live in Inverness, we have 1 Greggs and it only opened a couple of years ago.
And the first thing you see after coming through arrivals at East Midlands Airport is a Greggs.
Our local towns all had Bakers Ovens but they got renamed to Greggs. Presumably because the chain got taken over.
@@Derek_S They were part of the Greggs family anyway but they stopped operation, they were basically Greggs, but charging a small amount more to provide us with nice food that was kept warm.
Party 7 is no longer available. But from what I remember it wasn't the best quality and was meant for sharing not for one person to chug it down in one (though someone must have tried!).
Party 7 was just a way to soothe the throat after using a bong too vigorously back in uni. 😅
Yes, you hammered a tap into it so it could be poured into glasses. If the can has been shaken before when the tap is hammered in there was usually a big eruption of frothy beer coming out so you had to make sure the tap was in properly.
It tasted of froth.
They brought it back in 2021, but it seems to have quietly disappeared again.
I haven't seem a Party 7 can since about 1976.
DOn't forget that the UK pint is larger than the US pint .. The US pint is 16 fl oz, the UK pint is 20 fl oz
The party 7 tin of beer was what you always took to a house party or when you were having mates round. These days it would be a 4 pack of tinned beer. Little Chefs began to suffer when petrol stations started to sell what was referred to as ‘food on the go’ , i.e sandwiches, and hot food and drinks, making it a much quicker stop off than a Little Chef which was a waiter/waitress service.
Other imported small kegs of beer followed and are still (I think) available.
My dad used to bring home a party 7 back in thr mid to late 1970s when i was small. my first taste of beer.. It was Granada that shut the little chefs, remodelling the service stations.Now most are moto stations.. i had a little chef in the village nearby on the A217 but it is now a house. you can fly from Manchester and Gatwick to Newquay. Greggs took over my favourite baker which used to be Bloomfields. Used to be very big in london when i was a kud. Got to haveca vegsn sausage roll. We have znoel edmonds to thank for mr blobby. him and his house party which was a Saturday night staple in bbc1 in the 1990s for around 10 yesrs or so.
I haven't seen a Party 7 for at least 40 years. Thank God! 🤣🤣🤣
You could see Mr Blobby as a pastiche on how children's characters are often loud, disruptive, annoying, and scary.
this is the first I have ever heard of a party seven O.o
Watney's beer was like Budweiser....pish water !!
You would have to wait to be seated at Little Chef. McDonalds wiped them out in the UK with no waiting and cheaper food.
There is no corned beef in a pasty !
I have 2 Henry hoovers at work.
My mum got me a Colin the Caterpillar cake for my 30th last year! Imagine, a meal with family in a restaurant, and your waitress brings out the cake and lights the candles in front of you! The birthday person gets the bit with the face 😏 I obviously did, and my family had the rest or a separate cake 😂
I was a kid in the 1970s and I remember my Dad’s friends bringing them (party seven) over to a house party after coming back from the pub. It tasted disgusting but was better than nothing. 😂😂
Agree with others that have recommended " life on mars" and "ashes to ashes", they both depict life in the seventies and how the police actually "policed", "hit him Raymond" was the mantra of the police back then, im old enough to remember when we had respect for the coppers, i can remember many times being slapped around the ear for being half a mile from home after nine o'clock, "get home, you don't live round here, i f****ng know where you live, now f**k off home", "yes sir, sorry"
Yeah Henry's are the best hoovers ever made. To hell with these fancy dysons. I mean mine is a bit fancy as my mum gave me it after upgrading but I'd replace it with good old henry any day.
Saying that is like saying VWs are the best Fords! Hoover is a competitor to Henry.
@OC35 Uhm. Yeah ok
My brother had a tap he could put into the can ...memories
And does anybody remember buying tins of flat Guinness with a widget to give the head. Hard to do when totally hammered. The widget always got lost.
Cornish pasties are jam packed with diced potatoes, onions and beef with butter, all encased in a sturdy but flaky rough puff pastry, best eaten warm..delicious.
Party 7's were great to take to bottle parties but quite honestly were best for shandy.
As for tabloids, as my late dad would say, 'I wouldn't wipe my ar*e on the Sun' lol.
I don't think Little Chef was helped by the advent of MacDonald's.
I love my Henry he's efficient and reliable, but does weigh a ton so not great for stairs.. :)
And Swede
The tins made great stilts. Two holes in the top and sides threaded with string. Step on hold the strings and off you go !
I can remember the party seven,opening it was the problem,everyone used a screwdriver and a hammer,I only ever seen a proper opener once,not nice beer at all though,little chefs would be near a motorway but expensive food,there was many transport cafes back then where many truck drivers went because they were much cheaper
When it existed the Party Seven was for exactly what it said on the tin, to take round to a party and share the beer from the tin. If you didn't have any booze to share you wouldn't be invited to the party.
Party Sevens were the basis of every student party in the 1970s. I am a woman and refused to even try it because it smelt revolting, and the smell the following morning of the amount that had been spilt was vomit inducing. I had no problems with knocking back the very cheap wine that was also routinely found at these occasions🤮.
I loved Mr. Blobby as a kid.
Although, yes, he's terrifying. There were briefly even theme parks based around him and.... well I remember going to one on a school trip and you could have shot a horror movie there.
Party Seven equivalents were not just a British thing, although the poor quality "Grotney's" bitter was, it was terrible!
When I got posted to Germany in 1982, I could buy 4 litre tins (just over seven pints) of Pilsner or Altbier. The only difference to the tin was, it had a "bung" in the top which you pierced with a heavy duty syringe attached to a serving tap, I still have it somewhere?
I remember Allied Breweries made something similar in the UK that was equally as bad. Most British beer in the seventies was pretty awful as the big breweries tried to make it on the cheap for pressurised kegs.
Mr Blobby is the British equivalent of Donald Trump!!!
Greggs don't even come close to the sadly demised Tiko.
Noel Edmonds had a show with a section where they pranked celebrities. Early on (2nd season IIRC) they came up with the idea of Mr Blobby - a supposed children's TV character to whom the celebrity would explain their job or sport. They would wind up the celebrity with his bad behaviour. Of course, that idea could not be repeated after the show had been aired, but they kept bringing him back for some reason. I think he was on Britain's Got Talent in 2023.
The Watney’s Party 7 was disgusting! And yes, I bought many of them to take to parties!
Remember a party jackpot party 4 can that kept doing the rounds at the bring your own booze parties in the 80's. The can must have been 15 years old , slightly rusty, with graphics off hippies in Kaftans, with long hair, beads , and Fuman Choo mustaches , playing bongo's.
We used to convert them to waste paper bins with paint and fabrics!!
What...little chefs 😂😂😂
Never heard of Party 7, and I watched Life of Mars, must have never even acknowledged it.
I was only a kid in the 70's, but I remember my dads party trick was to neck a party 7 in one then dent the tin in half on his nose. Many a time we were coming home from parties with my dad with blood all over his face, he was a classy dude, but great fun.
Little Chef died as cars got more reliable in all honesty Joel... They had cafes on the sides and at junction intersections (roundabouts) but they where out in the countryside as wayside cafes on main trunk A roads but not motorways... The restaurant was started back in the late 50s by Sam Alper who made his fortune in Alpine Travel trailers (caravans) he noticed in America the wayside diners on interstate highways and brought the idea to Britain... the business boomed in the 60s and 70s as people got more cars but in those days it was quite common for motorists to stop every two hours to check the water and oil ect and get something to eat.. As cars got more reliable and comfortable Motorways opened up it was perfectly possible to drive from say Newcastle to London without stopping... 4-5 hour drive These days most people jus stop to buy fuel and grab a coffee...
A Henry is most certainly the best. I can tell you this as a man who has been an industrial cleaner in many factories and venues, And pubs, and my house, They work,
Yep, I've had mine almost 20years, it fell from the top to the bottom of my staircase, not even a crack in the plastic. Even when they do fail, 99% of the time it's just the power switch, easy to replace and widely available.
Cornish pasties originally contained meat and vegetables, though I think they've diversified them a bit now.
Just love Mr Blobby 😂😂😂😂
I believe M&S were partially in the right, obviously they can't copyright an animal design, but other designs are in fact benefiting from being like the original superior one in terms of quality
The Aldi one is nice! You’re a snob JPS!
I'm Cornish and so know to make a Cornish pasty. How Ginsters was allowed to call theirs a Cornish pasty I have no idea, as their pastry is not shortcrust, and doesn't have chunks of beef in there along with other veg. The government needs to ban their rubbish, although you know how they work so that won't happen.
remember part 7 with sparklets beer tap
we had party 7s and party 4s you could get bitter and mild, they cost £1.50 per 7s can back in the day, not a bad drink and , you could get a tap to fit it which gave the beer more fizz and a pub type white head
Yeah, but the taps cost an equivalent of £40 in today's money so many people didn't bother, especially when taking them to other people's parties. So you just poked 2 holes one in each in opposite sides of the too, if you didn't add the extra air hole you would get a dribblemout then nothing as the vacuum formed wouldn't let any beer out. The main beers available in party 7's were of course Watneys, but also Worthingtons, Double Diamond, M&B Mild, Ind Coope Long Life and I seem to remeber Skol but I might have imagined that one.
When talking about Tizer, did the commentator say Top Secret recipe or Toxic recipe?
If we had another elected house we would have the same stagnant non moving politics of other countries.
Lords only have the power to make the government to rethink things a couple of times.
Only an American would think that a Cornish pasty would have corn, hilarious!
I think he said corned beef!
I haven't seen Tizer for many, many years.
Watney's party Seven cost 15 Shillings back in the day (that must be pre 1971 pre decimal money) which equates to 75p today.
Joel, do yourself a favor and DO NOT have a Cornish pasty until you go to Cornwall and try one from a proper Cornish Pasty from a quality Cornish bakery.
You can buy them all over the country, but might ruin the experience before trying the genuine article.
Traditional Cornish pasty doesn't have corn beef it has beef or lamb it is called cornish pasty because it is made in Cornwall. The House Lords represent the Knights, Lords etc and the House of Commons represents the common people, you would have to research English history as to the creation of these two Houses, which began in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Party Seven was definitely not a top tier beer. As the name suggests it wasn't intended to be chugged back by one person, but taken to a party to share. A staple of teenage parties back in the day! You always lost at least half a pint in opening the can - more if not cautious!
Little Chefs were a chain you only found along motorways and main highways. They were never in towns and cities - I guess their competition was MacDonalds and other fast food chains.
You should check out the prequel to fools and horses rock and chips
New Idea magazine is definitely part of the Aussie tabloids. They lost any credibility they ever had with me over this headline. Is Bec Hewitt cheating on Leyton? I'm sure a lot of Brits know him as a world famous tennis player. You probably remember his wife when she was Bec Cartwright from the soap opera Home And Away. They had a photo of her going for a walk with another man, who turned out to be her brother. Recently, they accused King Fredrik of Denmark, whose wife Queen Mary is originally from Australia, of flirting with another woman. When all he was doing was talking to the lady seated next to him at a state dinner. What was he supposed to do, be rude and ignore her?
When you come back to the UK , you must try a pasty ..
Joel look up Kalani Ghost hunter, he visits the UK & does food reviews too
Great choice,he chooses our best places to eat!
7 x 568ml = 3 976ml or nearly 4 litres of beer! I'm glad real ale kegs are back in fashion!
Having a mini-keg in the kitchen at a houseparty makes things more socialble IMHO.
The Colin/Cuthbert caterpillar copyright conflict is right up there with the Jaffa Cake / VAT courtcase.
is it true that there are no Greggs in Cornwall..? I've seen them in Devon.
We saw the inauguration dais, the Lords is like that but with less money and power
Party 7.....15 shillings (old money) =75p today!
The trippers don't get pasties, no comprehension of them. Still more of a local thing.
No corned beef (I'm not sure what that even is) in the pasty, just beef. And potatoes and onion.
You aren't British if you don't know what corned beef is!
And swede
The 'News of the World' has been closed down. I know. I was trained by a man who had been 'exposed' by that paper. Twice.
I hated mr Blobby! He was even worse than Emu!
Cornish pasty in america has ground beef.
Little Chef Jubilee Pancake Superb!
How do I know the 'Little Chef' theme song when I've never heard of it or set foot in the UK?
There are no Greggs stores in my town.
Lucky you,it's crap food.
A party seven refers to the size of the can. Not its contents, as many different beers were sold in party seven cans.
"Party Seven" was a trademark of Watneys.
@
But didn't other brewers also put out party sevens? Or am I really miss remembering? I guess it has been awhile so it is possible. 🤷🏻♀️
OMG! Tizer was my fave drink when i was a Kid, but my mum would only let me have one per week 🤣
Tizer is STILL one of my favourite 'soft drinks'... And its made by A.G. Barrs (who manufacture my ALL TIME favourite drink; Irn Bru). 👍
@StewedFishProductions Mate, i've just ordered a 24 can pack from amazon for £7.50 👌👌 not had it for years.
@@SiGr10614
I'm in North London and the 'convenience store' (2 minutes away), always stocks 2L bottles of Tizer for £1.19. You can also get from ASDA for £1.10 (2L)...
Party 7 was an atrocious taste! 2 pints of that and, not to be too gross about it, reserve the lavatory for at least an hour the day after! 2 hours if you'd had fish n chips, mushy peas and curry sauce the same night... !!!
Greggs did open a few branches around belgium but the locals couldn't get along it, so greggs withdrew.
Little chef was shyt, it was all overcooked and not up to modern standards of quality you could get elsewhere. Eating out became more affordable and more of a thing in the early 90s.
The commentary about the House of Lords is incorrect. It cannot overrule the 100% elected House of Commons. It can only "suggest" amendments to legislation that is passed to it from the Commons who can ultimately ignore any of those.
No my God. You are bringing up things I have spent 30 years trying to forget,
Greggs is shit. Everyone in the UK thinks it's shit. The only thing I can recommend are the sausage rolls and the chicken baguettes. The problem with the sausage rolls is that unless they have just come out of the oven, they are usually cold. I always ask if the sausage rolls are hot before I buy one and this is not considered a weird question because everyone knows that the sausage rolls (and other hot pastries) are usually cold.
