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.

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.

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