...strawberry sherbets, or Yorkshire Mixture. But they make one's mouth sore so I might have to get some toffees - mint, treacle or rum butter - to scoff afterwards.

What will you have from the sweet shop ? Don't worry about the cost, or your teeth. MNHQ is picking up the shop and dental bills for everyone.

I'll have a bag of sasperella tablets (spelt it how you say it) and some Kop kops. But only if they taste like they ought to. I spent 15£ the other day in an olde fashioned sweet shop only to discover everything tasted like sweetener. I get upset just thinking about it.

Round colored blue/red/white striped sweet balls. They used to leave my tongue blue/red colour so nana always used to know granda had bought us sweets.
