There's a lovely shop down the High Street opposite the Royals that does all the old fashioned sweets, not just lemon but several variety of bonbons, sherbert pips, bullseyes, cinder toffee etc and also one that's just opened recently in Eastgate by Burger King, although that's not got as good a range. You can't beat old fashioned sweets!

This lot - http://www.mrsimmsoldesweetshoppe-falmouth.co.uk/shopmain/ - have just opened a shop in Uxbridge. I've also seen one in London, near St Paul's. Any others around?

One in Kingston mate. Fully recommended, if only cause they do Jawbreakers.

I think is the chain in the highstreet opposite the Royals OBL was hinting at

Acid drops. They rip the top of your mouth off but it's worth it.

Id just like to confirm my love of sweets, just in case anyone was in any doubt !

:happy:

Theres also one in the Broadway in Leigh, proper milk bottles dusted with that floury stuff

I just wish they sold them at the old fashioned prices as well! When penny sweets were actually a penny. Or in ORM's and Cricko's case a guinea

One in Canterbury. Very small shop but always packed.

I can remember Mars bars being six (new) pence.

Speaking of sweet prices - I just spent £3.34 on 2 packs of m and ms, a 3x12 dairy milk bar, a pack of skittles and a pack of fruit tella.

Bloody ridiculous, thinking about it like that. What happened to the days when you could go up to Harvey's just on the corner of South Avenue with a quid and come back with your pockets stuff full of goodies?
