Just got lucky tatties from a wee shop in Mastrick, brings back loads of memories. Everyone should have sweet memories from their past.
Will have to call in next time we come home for a visit.
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Gronnuck, we have cola cubes all the time! There are some in that list too - Dark West African Cola Kubes.
Changilass, we have Lucky Tatties too. Peedie ones. You'll be very welcome if you do pop in.
We are always happy to try and source sweeties if you've taken a notion for something that we don't have in stock.

Can you describe the strawberry dream bars please?
My favourite all time ever sweetie was when cadbury made bars of dairy milk with eight squares of strawberry cream filling. The nearest I have ever found to replicate the taste is a strawberry flavoured roses chocolate.
They also made a lime version which was only available in Ireland and a shop in Parr Bold near St Helens used to have it in stock occasionally.
We had an ancient thread here on the org with childhood sweetie memories. Maybe someone will revive it Mrs Sweetie.
Making tomorrow`s memories today
Mint Toffoes! Cannot find them anywhere - please help!!
You're reminding me a bit of the Frys Five Centres. Lime was my favourite in those. Without opening a strawberry dream, I can say that it doesn't have a soft fondant centre like you are describing. The bar is quite hard so I would imagine it to have a similar consistency to tablet. It is chocolate coated, as are all the bars except the fudge, tablet and macaroon.
I would love to help but they are no longer made. There aren't that many minty toffees to be had. I can get assorted toffees which include the odd mint one or mint toffee eclairs if either of those are any use to you?
Good! Look forward to seeing you. If it's Friday onwards, in the evening I'll be working so do say Hi!
