I've just despatched a consignment of chocolate concrete to my daughter in Manchester

Can I have a tray full too Muttely? Not had that in decades. I used to love the stuff! Never seen it anywhere in 30 odd years darn south.

When I was a kid, my mum would always take me into the one in Waterdale on the way back to the Southern Bus Station and I'd always choose one of those green frog buns.

The only pic I could find online was this kid with a half eaten one.

So that's where Ray Parlour is now

Oh man i loved them

We used to go to the one at the back of the Gaumont, near Ray Harrisons shop, every Saturday afternoon in the early 60's after swimming at The Old Baths, upstairs for our tea

Oh Rob I had forgotten all about those green frog buns.  Really sickly sweet but I loved them. Do they still do them?

[bobjimwilly]

Cooplands' Green frog buns are, regrettably, before my time. Is this what one looked like?

[roversontheup]

Yes that's em! Not sure they would go down too well with a beer though!

[Donnywolf]

... BUT they are both full of hops !
