Katex...you aren't on your own. My mum used to give us 2d each for the Sunday School collection.....and we used to spend all 8d(there were 4 of us) in the sweetshop and then go up Oakhill Park and try to guess what time it was so that we could go home roughly at the time Sunday School finished.
We would buy a good selection of stuff from the penny tray...and you could get 8 aniseed balls for a penny.....halfpenny bubblies...although with those we had to get rid of them before we got home or old eagle eyes would want to know where we had got it from. You could get a fair sized bag of Rainbow drops for 2d.....cherry lips......my goodness the list goes on and on.
