    Pontefract cakes taste like sh1te these days imo.
    The liquorice was sourced from Yorkshire now I think it's Australian and they're bloody awful.

    I used to spend hours laying them out in diferent paterns and eating the spares, gradually reducing them down to a ludo board . Simple pleasures.

    A class tasting sweet was the Anglo bubble gum. Shame the taste only lasted 10 seconds!

    I love mints. Fox's glacier my all time favs.

    My Dad reckons it is my Grandads fault. He died when I was a youngun so no real memories. But my Dad reckons I would run straight in the house jump on his knee and wouldnt go anywhere else until I had an extra strong mint. He always had a bag of them loose in the table next to his chair. He used to break a bit off one and give it to me, I was about 3 or 4 then.
