Name one thing from your childhood

Remember the slicked hair styles for men.
Brylcream and Brilliantine. I had curly hair (On my head.) I used Brilliantine to slick it flat. LOL.

To be honest, I think it was always State subsidised and bailed out annually. Just maybe to a lesser extent than recently. The same as all the other State subsidised operations.
Most made a profit that went directly to government. As would be the case for all government departments, operational budgets and capital investments were “subsidised” by the state using mentioned profits. That was before these profits got “privatised” and therefore no longer reinvested to feed the egg laying geese. Now our goose is cooked…

Mr too.

The good news is that it is still being made.

Is CorningWare still made?

It continues to be manufactured by Keraglass/Eurokera (a partnership between Corning and Saint-Gobain specializing in Vitro ceramic for cooktop panels and laboratory equipment) in Bagneaux-Sur-Loing, France. This is one of the only factories in the world still manufacturing Pyroceram-based cookware.
 
Visited a trading store museum in Winterton area today. Some pictures of some things I new when young.

We had a function and my wife went to get something out of the kitchen cupboard and all the Corning Ware slid out and crashed onto the floor. By then they were very scarce and very expensive.
How awful!
