Can you grow them then?  A few of them in your mouth and you were chewing all day.

Sweet shop, not sex shop ;)


Love hearts,
They still sell them but the messages are a lot different   today, hand them around and you would get done for sexual harrassment.

Winter mixture; big, (not wrapped, of course) sherbet lemons and pear drops.

Best of all - penny (old penny, of course!) bags of 'dusties'. These were big paper bags of all the broken/sticky bits of sweets scraped and scooped out from the bottoms of all the jars! Bliss!

I think I was about 8 when we could get sweets, as mother used to trade her sugar coupons for something more useful. But the memory of a parcel from my father who was still fighting in Malaya came  one xmas is still there. There was a tin of toffees, and some tins of pears in syrup, when I smell tinned pears I am always reminded of xmas, so we still only eat them over the festive season.

Back to sweeties

Black jacks,    licorish bootlaces, pineapple cubes (lost a few teeth to those)

Sherbet dib dab, rhubarb and custards, cola mojos, Opal Fruits (now, sadly Starburst) pineapple & cola cubes, pear drops, strawberry laces.  ;D ;D ;D

Bags of imperfect chocs from the cadbury factory.  ;D

sticky lice? spelling..spearmint chews, remember, honeycombed, cinder toffee,  ;D
just remembered, cherry lips and those horrible smelling chewy sweets different colours and can't think of the nams, sweet ciggies, licquorice pipes, god, no wonder our teeth weren't very good, chocolate ciggies  ;D ;D
loose sherbet, we used to make into drinks  :o ??? ;D
and, don't start on savoury, picallilli butties !! ;D

picallilli butties !! ;D

I made some for my son's lunchbox at school, he would not eat them as he thought the cauliflower bits were brains, but then I don't blame him, horrible stuff, only beaten by green tomato chutney.
