Dont try this at home kids

I'm talking about over 40 years ago! On most of the ships I was on, Camp Coffee was part of life ( mostly for the older members ).- Like Stewed Compote of Fruit - which was a breakfast menu staple ( amongst the older officers, bowel movements were an unhealthy interest ).
Coffee was normally brewed by emptying a 500g bag of ground coffee into the giant coffee pot at about 6.00am, boiled, then kept hot & topped up with water throughout the day, finally being emptied at around 7.00pm! - It was a bit muddy, later in the day!

I'm talking at least forty Dave its the paint waterI consume keeps me looking so young ,as Steve says the lable by todays paranoia was bang out of order, I wonder if anybody ever made a little vignette of it. Dave

Still available guys , excellent stuff , Makes a lovely frappe ( cold coffee flavoured milk!) too , just stir in one teaspoon to a glass of milk . Not in the old glass bottle anymore but the label has survived in a slightly less provocative form , the officer is now sharing a cup with the Indian guy instead of being served it .

I'm sure it used to have a officer being served by the char coffee wallah?

There you go David…

To be honest, the new label is well done and could be from a few seconds later!

There were various adverts for Camp Coffee - all had a military theme - the labels changed through the years -
but the two most remembered are these :-

Camp Coffee very smellee. Tasted it ONCE. First came across it in 1944.

Evacuated to my Grandmothers in Hull to escape Hitler trying target me ( & sister) with Doodle Bugs.

The house stunk of the stuff. It tasted like poison. All sticky & horrible as it came out of the bottle

Stick to the paint water David.

Just add that if it is Vallejo Air you use they are all non toxic.

Majority of Vallejo Model are non toxic yellows & a few others are not.

Dave, if you had washed brushes with yellow, reds and blues you'd had a Tutti Frutti. Well anything that comes out the other end should be a consistent medium dark hue of coffee if you want to be healthy. Anything pale or really dark other than not well formed...go see a doctor.

Cheers,

Now come on Laurie you know my hate of the V word and their products :angry: so what was consumed was probably toxic but here's a thought for all the Vallejo sufferers out there its no good for spraying but try eating it then use the flow improver should(and thats a big should)well you know help it flow through and some of their tip drying stuff should leave you totally klinker free.:tongue-out3::thumb2:. Dave

Please people this comment is in keeping with the situation if you wish to defend the big V please do so elsewhere, thanks to all who have posted here great community spirit long may it stay that way. Dave.
