We would eat the liquorice when it got too soggy to suck up the sherbet and put the granules in a saucer,mix it with a bit of tap water and slurp up the froth!

I remember when walking to school in 1968 I found a half crown on the pavement. That was serious cash for an eight year old. I went to the shop near the school and bought a big bag of mixed sweets.

I remember with my pocket money buying the strawberry pink bubble gum called Bazooka Loved messing with it. At junior school opposite was the local newsagent. I would go in and ask for 1 penny bag of ‘teeth rotters’ Black cat sweets👍 👍 I would have eaten them by the time I went into school. Yes everything was full of sugar but you had plenty of exercise at school and at home. Sherbet was just fantastic I’d eat a lot of it Caylie (spelling?) was fantastic Dip Dabs😀😀😀😀👍 👍 Treats as well Animal bars👍 👍 Bar Six and Old Jamaica bar And lastly Parma Violets❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 👍

We'd get 2oz of sweets on a Friday as our end of the week treat. Always looked forward to those ainseed balls or pear drops! Then my dad got a job at the A&BC bubblegum factory in Spilsby Road, Harold Hill...they made Bazooka Joes and the cards with gum in them, used to love my dad coming home with ill-gotten gains!

Brilliant! Barrets sherbet fountain tubes are a modern shadow of their former selves - plastic false liquorice. Uck! Sweet tobacco my favourite too. Bazooka Joes were great for the cartoons, loved them. So many fantastic memories from lots of those. Popeye candy sticks (aka cigarettes) were great for stuffing in a few at a time - no doubt junk but tasted super! And I've never been a smoker despite consuming even the ones with the red 'lit' ends, lol! The milky bar kid was on one of the funny chat shows two or three years ago (Graham Norton maybe?).There are a few shops (one in Glasgow Barrowland area) where you can get some of these old memory sweets. Nice to catch one of your excellent videos again. Take care! ATB, Terry

I once spent all my pocket money on Black Jacks and Fruit Salad. 2/6 x 4 chews for 1d = 120 sweets! Cost me a fortune in dental bills over the years. My only clear memory of my grandma (Nan) who died when I was 5, was the fact she kept a supply of Nuttall's Mintoes. More unusual were Cadbury's Lucky Numbers.
