Ohhhh Brogus, I have been looking for Devon Florals/Cashous for years.
My Nan used to keep a tin of them in her handbag, and she used to give them to us calling them dolly sweets!
Remind me of me lovely Nan they do.

Hello

No problem doris pinks, This is a great subject i am a bit of a sweet person they don't seem to do sweets now like they used to. They are saying sweets are bad for you and they are so expensive i am only a youngster of 34 and i remember a Â£1 note of sweets would last me a while especailly the 1/2p chews and sweets.

I am glad that we can get our fix of old fashion sweets on the net.

Cheers

Pineapple cubes! That brought back memories.

Penny Arrow Bars (toffee strips that actually cost 1d)
Dolly mixtures
Horlicks tablets (does anyone remember these? They were like Refreshers but malted milk flavoured)
Sharps Kreemie Toffees
Toffee Rex
Butterscotch in a block

And there were posh sweeties at Christmas ...

Orange and Lemon Slices
Meltis Newberry Fruits (Grown ups thought these were a great treat. Most children thought they were disgusting.)
Buttered brazils
