I remember every sunday after our roast being sent up to Maynard sweet shop opposite the Welcome Inn to get our “quarter of sweets “ and a bottle of R.Whites lemonade - happy days indeed
Anyone else go back to the "penny tray"? The local shop had a tray of sweeties which cost a penny each, for when kids' pocket money was running out. Or the de luxe tuppenny tray (old currency). There was also another local shop which would sell you one Woodbine or one Park Drive for 4 old pence.
Or even Rhubarb and custards. Rub 'ard and custard was an entirely different experience from those long ago days - usually involving an old copy of Rustler found under a seat on the bus.
Mary Millington back in those days. She was a retro sweet However, I digress. Back on topic, I used to like Flying saucers loved the sherbet in the middle. Then I discovered the citric acid from wine making kits. Supercharged sherbet basically. Fantastic!
Not sure. Aren't Lemon sherbets boiled sweets with a sherbet centre? Flying saucers are/were little round capsules made of thin wafer, with sherbet powder in the middle. Looked a bit like UFO's hence the name.
Nestle have stopped making Caramac... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67355475 Not one of my favourites. I did like Curly Wurly bars. Does somebody still make them?
