I do it was there for donkeys years - fake doggies doo doo took into school and placed on chairs jigger - alley
Them horrible chewies that made your tongue go blue and the wringleys chewie thing like a tiny mouse trap that snapped your thumbnail. Dave's spot on it was the best jokey ever.
They did a matchbox with a hole cut in the bottom and a piece of cotton wool with fake blood on, you put your thumb through the hole, slid the box open to show your mates and after you'd shocked them with that, you wiggled your thumb and scared them even more
I remember them. They wouldn't get away with selling those fake ciggies with the red tin foil on the end that were filled with flour these days.
Probably not. Do they still sell sweet cigarettes in sweet shops? They changed the name to candy sticks last time I looked but haven't been in a sweet shop for ages.

Anyone remember "the jew shop"(not an insult to the followers of the Jewish faith), he sold boss Harrington's, Como's, monkey boots, Wrangler's, Lee Cooper and Lee Rider etc. You could haggle the price on anything and if he saw money in your hand he never let you get out of the shop until you bought something.
Was it Sturlers. The club man used to come to the house and you paid money in, then he gave you a chit to spend in the shop when you'd paid in a certain amount - or something like that. [If thread doesn't take off again, best leave it.]
No mate, it was next to Pryors the jewellers opposite TJ's, can't remember "Sturlers" but remember Colliers used to take provie cheques.
