I have recently opened up a sweet section on my website but ain't gonna display the url here. Funny enough 'A Quarter Of...' is one of the merchants on it . If you ever need anything let me have a look for you to see what is on there.

Mags, Karen darlings, no sorry neither of them are the ones we used to be able to get - Maynards, sadly no longer make the 'original' Fruit salad gums and their 'wine gums' have a different taste to what they used to be too.

Like many others I miss Woolworths, talking of sweets, that was the only shop that sold Rowntrees Blackcurrant Pastiles; no other flavours all blackcurrant. My wife and myself loved them and we always kept a good stock thanks to Woolworths.

The resounding theme here seems to be we all miss Woolies (They always had just what you wanted) and C&A (bought my first party dress from here)
Black jack and fruit salad always loved these - bought some a few years ago but they were not the same as I remember.
