And the same to you!

And the same to you!

Tunnocks :-D

Have a Penguin then.

Or a Blue Riband,now there's a thought.

Oh there is Sharron. I just dislike jam and pretend chocolate - maybe it is the mud off the wagon track.

No pleasing you is there Miss Pickypants?

Oh gawd, not jam as well. yuk :-|

But there was the bit of jam to distract you from it.

When you think of it,not much that we thought was delicious and very desirable was of the finest quality in our youth.

Am I the only one who didn't like wagon wheels? What was that digusting brown stuff they were coated in? It sure wasn't real chocolate :-S
*wish we had the chucky uppy emoticon*

Bite the end off and have a good suck.

Suit you Wend, suit you.

Like you, Sharron, like you.

We're ladies of a 'certain age.'

You would know to bie the end off wouldn't you Wend?

*Rolls eyes* - whatever next, eh? :-S

Sometimes I buy those assorted bags with the love hearts and the Dip Dabs in them. It turns out that one of the carers loves sherbet and, my not having any in the basket meant she had to send her husband out for some.

Oh horrors, he came back with sherbet fountains. As she is young and not experienced in these things, she ate the sherbet fountain by dipping the liquorice in the sherbet. Nobody had ever told her to bite the end off the tube and suck it up, making it into a fountain.

Even the carer she was with, and she must be forty, didn't know about this.

What sort of skills are younger people missing out on now I ask myself.

Like I said AnnC - they were called sweet peanuts :-D

sherbet dabs, Pontefract cakes, and those sweets shaped like peanuts with chopped peanuts inside - aniseed balls were nice too

Who liked Dolly Mixtures?

I hated them, thought they smelled horrible (these days I'd say like a bad perfume).

If my grannies thought I'd been "a good girl" I got 2oz of dolly mixtures. I politely said thankyou....... and put them away. Can't remember what I did with them (my brother didn't eat them cos he didn't like them either)

:-D

Pedigree is a Banks beer. Has been for sometime. Daughter used to work for Mansfield Brewery, Banks took that over as well and she had to go to Marsden's in Burton sometimes for meetings.

She left there almost 8 years ago and became a civil engineer, out in all weathers. The office job was too boring!!!!!!!!!!! :-S :-)

I used to love Wagon Wheels, washed down with a (shared) bottle of Tizer :-D

As for sweeties, my faves were Parma Violets, Sweet Peanuts and sherbet dips.

Ooh, and Love-hearts!

Mersey - I don't as a rule but sometimes I just fancy something like that and I do love a bit of Parkin
