Chewwie sweets, it has to be Moams

Maltesers as a chocolate affair, any chocolate in fact.
Non chocolate, mentos or anything sour and chewy.

Brandy bas are my favourite but you canna eat them all the time but what I eat the most of is Bassets Allsorts so they deserve a mention. Love it at xmas when you get the big tins.
Xmas is only good for mince pies and big tins of Allsorts
Wine gums. The Tesco and Asda own brands are the dogs *******s.
Not really a chocolate lover, but do like a double decker.
They were great but short lived.
I'll have this instead:
Woollies also did coca cola boiled sweets which were the best ever. Next was traffic light lollipops ....nowadays I split the difference and go for cola chubba chip lollipops.
I also used to buy lucky bugs for the toy and that inedible chewing gum packets for the fitba cards."henna henna got it got it" swapping with 'feel eric"at mastrick shops ....he had all the joey harper ones...so nae so feel after all.
were the football cards nae with bubble gum ? I couldn't and still can't blow bubbles so it made feck all difference to me . Coca cola bottles, beer chews, sweetie cigarettes with popeye on them, sweetie chewing tobacco, them big pink nougat bars and sherbert dib dabs were the dogs.
It was flat rectangular Chewing gum (or at least meant to be) revolting stuff.
Bubble gum was bazooka joe where you got a cartoon and if you saved enough wrappers could send away for an awesome submarine (well looked awesome in the sketch provided) we also used to get cinnamon sticks which kids would smoke until their ma appeared and they would break off end and eat them.Amazing the amount of kids sweets which related to smoking ..add licorice shaped like granpa broons pipe to the list .
My auld man used to work for Rowntrees on Waterloo Quay, he used to bring home all kinds o' stuff. My favourites were Fruit Pastilles and Jelly Tots (ooh er missus). Was also fairly partial to Spangles or Opal fruits. Chocolate wise a good old Mars bar, or After Eights if we were flush.
