Ah yes, Margaret, but which sort ? ... the rainbow type which left yer palate without its top layer of skin, or the pink American Soda but had a tendency to give you flatulence

 

[panther]

kola kubes, pineapple chunks, been to ossy mills but dont seem to taste quite the same as they used to


I remember i used to go to taylors at the corner where panack hairdressers is now in ossy, and used to get 2p ice lollys, shame they shut, theres never really any good toffee shops anymore!!

There was only one sort in the 1940's - bright yellow crystals - made tongue and lips look jaundiced
