Re: sweets you can't buy now

Palm toffee bars - my favourite was the one with banana flavour toffee in the middle. I don't mourn them, because my teeth wouldn't be able to cope these days!

Black jacks and fruit salad - little wrapped chews, 4 a penny

Re: sweets you can't buy now

If you really are desperate to buy any of the sweeties you've mentioned, you might try this place:

https://www.aquarterof.co.uk

It looks like it's got most of what's been listed already. In any case, if your local town has an independent sweetie shop, it might have them in stock. I know there was one in Chapel Walk and another in Mealcheapen St, Worcester that sells Love Hearts and Black Jacks, etc.

They also did a green version, which was supposed to be Popeye's spinach.
