Even if Mrs Parkie was as an absolute hound why would it be a big deal? She might be a fantastic cook or a wonderful person in general.
So what if she’s a big,fat munter? Parkie would see past beyond the surface and maybe just limit her social interactions where she accompanies him.

Fair play to him for that if this is the case. 

She's a scorcher. She'll probably do onlyfans after she dumps me

Golden cup, Fuse bars and cola bottles. Cola bottles are hit and miss these days. Some pure tasting ones kicking about. Probably due to the original flavourings being banned.

Golden cups were fine as fuck, tasted better as a small single bar than the bigger one for some reason.

Aye that's them.

Get Sherbet Fountains in Tesco. Not the paper packs they used to be, made out of plastic now. Still the same taste though. Think you get 4 or 5 for £1.

As a kid back in the 60s I used to like sports mixtures my favourite especially the black ones .

 

Liquorice allsorts .

Jelly babies.

.My grandad loved these sweets as well , can't eat them anymore as they all have gelatine in them .

Good thing now more and more sweets are now made geletine free .?

Thanks for sharing that memory.?

Last bought myself a packet of Chelsea Whoppers from the sweet shop in Aviemore - a tad more expensive than the 2p a strip I remembered paying from the icer back in the day!

Anyone remember Galaxy Counters?

[alscotoz]

I think they were called chewy or chewing nuts... but they didn't have nuts in them. And bon bons, sugar dusted caramel...I think? Memory's shot

10p Frosties (cylindrical cola sweeties), scum bananas, Keiller's butterscotch and Dime bars were the go-to sweeties for me in days of yore.

You still get Dime bars but they are called Daim for some reason.

Should all just stick to our local sweets, be less hassle.
