trisher

HI

I opening a sweet shop, you can have all those toffees and sweets that takes your fancy, you will not put on any weight.

There's Turkish Delight, full of Eastern Promise, and then the delight ermmmccaannmSorry my hand went all of a quiver just thinking about it. :roll:

The are brazil nuts as as all covered in toffee.There are Jelly babies ( I like to bite their heads off first.)

There are Humbugs not a Scrooge in sight. Jelly beans, pick and mix and what ever you can think off.

You will never have to have your teeth looking at in a jar by your bed

Bulls eyes, without the bull charging after you wanting them back :shock:

Just help yourself, put the money in he till.

Go down memory lane to the sweets you had and cannot get now.

HI Trish

You can get everything you want. Look on the counters all the sweets you used to be able to get are here.

Best of all we go back in time, the prices are as they used to be.

Hi, Elizabeth, thanks for the info. I'll check it out in time for a Christmas treat (for me!).
One of my brothers was able to get them for me for a couple of years, but the shop where he is closed down - I've been chocci-less for the last 5 or so years.

You pay in the old money. The difference is you get bigger bars of CDM, and all other bars that have become smaller but the price i dearer. :!:

Have what you really fancy, tiger nuts, shoe strings. The toffee's tasted much creamier,

I found last night Woolworths do sell their sweets and you can buy all the sweets they used to sell.

OMG,I'm salivating at all these, sweet treats,
mmmm... remember sweet peanuts and how they cut your tongue.
toffee logs for a penny... they have took Thorntons chocolate covered toffee's away too
I used to get 2p pocket money and buy a bag of sweets every Saturday.
