...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.

Rosy apples, but only if they are the really sour ones that make your mouth hurt after you've had a couple that you used to get back in the 1970s. Same for sherbert lemons and acid drops.

Acid drops but I think it's 30 years or more since I saw them last so in which case either blackcurrant and liquorice or lemon sherbets.
