Mark, you're a beast!

Sorry!

An explanation may e in order. I had this as my avatar riefly yesterday:

Me saying "Don't ask me why, ecause I don't know." meant "Don't ask me why I've got an upside-down cockerel as my avatar." I didn't mean to make you look silly. Sorry!

I always thought that a "Sweet Peanuts" was called a "Nutty Bar" - I, of course could be wrong!

Sweet peanuts were monkey nut shaped and had a real nut inside. They were loose in jars and sold by the quarter.

You lot DO realize I'm on a diet, don't you?

Just don't get me started on Mint Cracknel My favourite of the old sweets, cos no bugger remembers them.

@ Snub - - Thank You - Your Ace!

What I really need to see is the Cresta (OK it's a drink) Frosty Bear website
I have searched the net, in vain, I may add. If any EBGs remember the 'Rimsky Korsakov' ad, I'd be more than impressed.

Nope...that'd be Corona....every bubble's passed it's fizzical. That's one of the little blighters, bottom left of the pic on Red's last post

Pear drops?

i'd like to point out the amazingness of giant buttons. they help reverse that scary feeling of wondering when buttons became smaller and then realising you're not 6 years old anymore and now have big hands.

And Rhubarb and Custard.

Bought a 1/4 of each of these when I was driving up to some blighted northern away match recently. Very nice but all that sugar made my teeth itch.

I'll stick with Jelly Babies in future, unless I can find authentic toffee bonbons. You remember. Candy shell covered in absurd amounts of icing sugar that your mam could never get out of the upholstery. Bite into a sugary, caramel mess that took some serious chewing to get under control. When I was eight I had a jaw like Desperate Dan and perpetual neck-ache.

Happy days.

I remember Toffee Bonbons. You could get lemon and strawberry ones as well, but the toffee ones were my favourite too. Sherbert lemons and strawberries too. And a can of Spar's own coke cost 5p. Don't remember having to lick the road clean though.

Highland toffee bars mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thrash harry, you are a pillow biter

better?

my dad owns a sweet shop. mmmmmmmm good when you're five. and 35, i might add.

Jeeeeeze, if my dad owned a sweet shop i'd be obese by now!!!
