They were fantastic! That was the days you could get a lot in a 10p mixture. Recently I went in to the local shop and asked 'How much are the 1p chews' he replied '2p"

What about Chelsea whoppers? I'll have 10 of them right now please?

Oh, and I LOVE the Alphabet sweets - I used to eat so many I almost threw up!

Someone mentioned Flying Saucers? You can get an entire pack (hundreds of 'em) from CostCo. Little paper bombs of fizz

Highland Toffee - a softer eating toffee bar. You used to be able to get everlasting toffee too . . .I think you could anyway! This is hard to get hold of at the moment - we have a supply for now but quite how long it will last we're not sure... (that's not some tacky sales pitch... it's the truth sadly!)
Scotmid round the corner from me sell it all the time
