Remember leaving school and going for sweets?
Found an old school sweet shop that sold 1/4's of sweets, original scales but i couldn't find my favourite. What were them sweets that looked like peanuts but were really sweet but had nut's in the middle?
Anyway what was your favourite? |

"Lots of people of my generation have got terrible teeth due to the sweets we used to eat. "
I have never had a filling, i mean the teeth sort. But i don't think my generation ate sweets like today, we used to have a friday treat. |

Sweet rationing only ended three years before I was born, our parents were a bit free and easy with sweets. We used to have a Friday night sweet night too but nobody stopped us eating them in the week if they were available. |

I loved rhubarb and custards too. Although when I was a kid they were perfectly spherical and I only ever seem to find more oblong-y ones these days and I don’t like them as much, the custard bit isn’t as custardy.
