    Frys double sandwich, a chocolate bar. It was either milk chocolate outside with dark inside or vice versa. I preferred the dark outside. Mmmmmm
    Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.

    Texan bar yummy
    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.

    Lucky tatties and MB bars. May be typically Glaswegian tho, but would be interested to know if they were ever on sale in Caithness.

    DeHaviLand, lucky tatties were definitely on sale in Wick in late 1950's early 60's. I used to get them, along with my sherbet dab and lucky bags; used to get them from Gibby Frasers shop in Coach Road.

    Olde English flavoured Spangles I recall, and 'Acid Drops' . Also Polo 'fruits' as ooposed to mints. Pear Drops...I graduated from sweets to chocolate around the age of eight I think...nowadays even choccy is a rare treat.
    Thank heaven for Shiraz.

    The nice thing about living in a small place is that if you dont know what you are doing....there's always somebody who does,or thinks they do! x
