SWEETS

my dad used to always by us a finger of fudge yes there you all go.... "a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat a finger of fudge is just enough untill...." OMG theres good commercialism for you, got to be 25 years since I heard that and I still remember all the words
 
Mambos or Jubilees when you look at it in a retrospective way the sweet market isa lot like the music world.In a respective way that songs are rereleased and the youth of today think they are new.A lot of new named sweets are the same.Different name same product.Or is it just me
 
a lot of the sweets are the same the names have been changed so that visitors to the u.k know what there buying  that's another euro issue. :-/
 
why does this country have to go along with others, time to put the great back into brittain :)
 
[smiley=ello.gif] i agree to mick  wish  they would all  change to our names not the other way around  it was bad enough learning  the names first time around  without  trying to learn them again ;D
 
even jif has changed to cif. thats one for anne mick i dont think you men will know what jif is. ;D

Sorry Janet, I have to confess that i do no what this stuff is.For cleaning baths,tiles and other stuff.White creamy stuff i think it is.Been so long since i used it.13 years.Just how long i have been wed  :o
 
that's why men get married mik, they cant possibly get through life without a good woman i dont know how single men cope, maybe thats why lots of men stay with there mum till marriage ;D
 
I heard once that  single men are jealous of married men but also vice versa.Normally on a Friday night just after the pubs have shut LOL!
 
:D  I remember some sort of pink strawberry flavoured bar that was similar to milky bar (like strawberry chocolate) can't really describe it, but it was delicious. ;)
 
Three main venues for your sweets; MACE on Hawthorn Ave. Ossy, one just up from St.Paul's that sold licorice bootlaces (still the best), black jacks, fruit salad & mojos (all 4 for a penny). 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??
