They made their own ice lollies and for some reason, they managed to get more flavour in them than any other lolly around. They were also in the Guinness Book of Records at one time because they had the biggest cat in the world...not a lot of people know that.

Bags of saspirillas, coltfoots rock, rainbow sherbet and Victory Vs. There was a newsagent bang opposite the bottom part of St.Pauls that used to have a Beech Nut chewing gum machine on the outside wall. During school breaks we could buy cheese biscuits or chocolate fingers for a penny (that's pre-decimal guys!). When it went decimal we were offered penny wafers. And what about non PC purchases like tobacco sweets; packs of cigarettes with pink tips, chocolate cigars and sweet rolling tobacco in pouches. How did our teeth ever survive??
