Old Fashioned Sweets
I love old fashioned sweets. So much so that I actually work in a 1930s style sweet shop. It is the best job ever! It has got me wondering. What is your favourite sweet? Does it depend on where you bought up?

I used to love those 'flying saucers', Sherbert Fountains, those solid black sticks of liquorice, and 'rhubarb & custard' boiled sweets!
Does anyone remember liquorice imps - they were in a tiny box, half the size of a matchbox.....sooo delicious!! They had loads in my schools 'Tuck Shop' !

I remember them.They were square and thin(funnily enough).Kind of semi see through,different flavours each individually wrapped.Bit like old English spangles sort of consistency if my memory serves me correctly.

When we used to go to Church on Sunday morning.My Mum would always give us money to put in the collection 'plate'.But we always spent it on bags of sherbert on the way back.I'm sure i'm going to hell for my sins.
