The subject came up over lunch today and I'm buggered if I can recall
the name and it is bugging me now!

The ones I remember are Carnation and Ideal evaporated, and Nestles
(pronounced Nestles not Nes-lay) condensed, the Nestles condensed being
in a tin with a blue and white label. The tin was more 'squat' than a
bean tin.
