Tom knocks on his mate's (Johnny) door to see if he can come out to play - Johnny answers the door but behind him, laid out on the passage floor, is Johnny's mum in a pool of blood.
"Oh My God"! says Tom "What happened to your Mum"?
"She forgot the fruit gums"! says Johnny

Luvely Jubbly.
6d. Mars Bars that were about a foot long and used to last a week.

Anyone watch old episodes of Only Fools and Horses?
If so, have you noticed that a lot of the lines refer to things that were topical at the time and have since passed from popular memory.

I can only get the second one which I do believe should be...
"Looks good, tastes good and by golly it does you good."
