I went to school with a guy and we nick named him Flump.  he was a chubby kinda guy.  GY was a good friend of his and I think he lived in the same house as him at university.

Clove rock before they became part of the tissue in your pocket.

Or Brandy balls!

Aye, the big sugary ones where far better than the ones in the plastic wrappers.

Refreshers are still available - I get a bag of them sent over every couple months.

Beechnut gum - great. 12p
Flying Saucers
Wine Gums
Wham Bars
Desperate Dan bars.


Those were the days.

Fizzy cola bottles, every time!

Stingers, refreshers, wham bars and snaps crisps all were lovely too.

Bought a dip dab for old times sake on sunday evening...still as good as ever, lasts you a good 2 hours til the wee red lolly disintergrates  ;)
Anyone remember the coke flavoured ice lollys like polly pineapples that were 12p and a cracker buy. Would blow a solero out of the water!

Does anyone remember Dracula ice pops?  I've been told I made them up but I most definitely did not!!  Black ice lolly with a red fruity ice lolly centre combined wtih plain ice cream.
