Here is another excellent local history site for those whe haven't come across it before http://www.paul-gibson.com/#
If I remember right it was called "Mayfair" and had a very unique taste which I couldn't try to define. It was sort of cinnamon mixed with something else but I absolutely loved it. I made inquiries about it on my trips back to Hull as I bought some and it tasted nothing like the original. I even wrote to Cadbury's but got no reply.
Yes, I know mate but when this chocolate bar came out it was called "Mayfair" and it had this beautiful taste to it but I have no idea what it was. I have asked around but have had no luck. The last time I was in Hull (1990's) they had this bar on sale but it just tasted like ordinary chocolate. I would love to find out what the hell was in it.
According to the list of all Cadbury's products, Mayfair was the name of a box of chocolates, it's not listed as ever being a bar.

I've searched all the manufacturers Cadbury's, Fry's, Nestles and bugger if I can find it but I will persevere. Talking about Chocolates, we have a very popular product here called Vegemite (similar to Marmite) and some genius thought it would be a good idea to put it inside a Chocolate bar. We bought one out of curiosity and, although I have never tasted cat s h i t I would imagine that this is what it tastes like. Stay right away from it! please log in to view this image
I remember the Aztec bar, it was manufactured to take on the Mars bar - despite being quite tasty I recall it was only available for a year or so.
I didn't pick up on Heidi, but take a look at the car under the canopy and the line of taxis out front.
My parents took me to see it as well John. They had a guy on in the interval doing tricks with a yo yo I think it was at the same film. My parents used to go into city centre every now and again on a Saturday. As we lived out of town we used to go to Thornton Varley's for our dinner, happy days.
