I remember every sunday after our roast being sent up to Maynard sweet shop opposite the Welcome Inn to get our “quarter of sweets “ and a bottle of R.Whites lemonade - happy days indeed
Anyone else go back to the "penny tray"? The local shop had a tray of sweeties which cost a penny each, for when kids' pocket money was running out. Or the de luxe tuppenny tray (old currency). There was also another local shop which would sell you one Woodbine or one Park Drive for 4 old pence

Nestle have stopped making Caramac...
