Favourite Sweets as a kid

[BernieTeyze]

OOh look at all you locals to Nantwich,didn't realise there were any on here, and Jules, people still always seem to have those joe;s mints with them. There is an old fashioned sweet shop in town and they sell most of these sweets mentioned..

mmm mint cracknell,now that was lovely.

Just remembered when Cadbury bars had letters on the wrapper you could collect them and when you got all the letters you could claim the prize on the card..I got a camera..

Do the lids of Smartie tubes still have a letter of the alphabet embossed on them? Does anyone know why?

All this sweet talk got me shopping....

Bernie, I was in Nantwich this afternoon at the hairdresser's but managed to resist the temptation of going to the old fashioned sweet shop, trying to be good after getting back last week after 2 weeks in Calis!!

I also used to love Galaxy counters they came in a white bag with a picture of a giraffe on it, think he was called Jeffrey.

Seeing Steve's picture of his sweety hoard, reminds me that one of the delights of going to watch the Arsenal - apart from the football - is the two sweet stalls outside Arsenal tube station.  Big selection of proper sweets, including shrimps, bananas, cherry jellies, sherbert lemons to name a few.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmagnificent:P
