    Of course :emoticon-0100-smile

    Do you remember when walnut whips had a full walnut, half on top and the other half inside on the base?
    I used to eat the one off the top on it's own then eat the sides and filling together, i saved the base and nut for one mouthful at the end.
    Magic :grin:

    Was a time when they were mixed in the jar but these day's we have allergies so they have to be seperated.
    Makes you wonder how people used to survive :grin:

    im good with both

    Never seen Cadbury’s do them...they would be memorable.

    sometimes I’ve bought a bag and the chocolate isn’t all that...too sugary.

    You are right, they use to sell them in the big jars with all the other sweets, and you bought them by 1/4 pound. I only really bought them for the raisins, but would tolerate the peanuts to avoid wasting them.

    When I was little, there was an old girl live in my road and I use to go deliver her mail for her on a Sunday. The postbox/post office was a good half hour walk there, then the same back. So she use to give me something like threepence, maybe more but I honestly can't remember. Threepence back them would easy buy me 1/4 pound of sweets on the way back.

    Obviously remember Sunday's use to be a proper religious day back then, so you was lucky to see a shop open. I would hardly see anyone on my journey. Not sure how the sweet shopkeeper made any money, being open then.

    I bought some chocolate covered sultanas this week, SunnyD brand. Rip off really, sold in multi packs of 5, only 25g per pack, but charge £2.

    I reckon she must be well dead and buried by now <laugh>

    I think I was fascinated as a kid, going out on a Sunday, and no fooker about. Completely different to now. I think the shopkeeper must have use to shut around midday'ish, only because I remember some Sundays I never use to get there in time.
