There is a few sweetshops around that sell all the old fashioned stuff like proper kali, cant remember where we went but i bought my mum some of the nougart with fruit bits in that you used to get. I didnt have a lot of sweets as a kid but when i was older i used to buy 2oz of kali  with some of my pocket money and it would send my finger a funny colour. I also liked double lollies(chalky lollies) but i know you can get those still and i used to have smarties as well |

There are places online that you can get some old sweets from, not sure how much you have to order though |

I'm lucky, my village sweet shop is one of those old fashioned ones which has jars and jars of all the old sweets lining the walls, and they sell fantastic home made ice-cream as well as the Mr Whippy one............ drools. |

Orange fizz bombs. Reminds me of going swimming with school, mum used to give me 10p to get some fizz bombs after the lesson. The swimming pool shop was the only place around that sold them and I looked forward to them all week.
Our local oldie worldy sweety shop got some in for me. I don't know why I liked them so much now, they cut your mouth to shreds! |

How quickly times change NN. When I was a young girl (certainly up to age 6) Mojo's were 4 for a ha'pence ("old" money of course) (hells bells, that works out at 86 Mojos for a shilling - which for the youngsters here is the equivalent of 5p  )
p.s. spearmint Mojos were the best |

"SPANGLES one crunch and off to hospital to get ya tongue stiched back on lol "
Did you ever swallow one whole by accident and get it stuck diagonally in your oesophagus? Half an hour later you can still feel it there ...  |
