Old fashioned sweets

[Hotman]

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?

You and your other half sound like you keep yourselves very healthy

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

And freddos were 10p and not 17p :/

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

A guinea? 21 shillings is a months work for sweeping a chimney dontchew know. Could buy the whole orphanage a racially suspect Blackjack or two with that.

We're students. Healthy for us is managing to go out and not come back with a banging hangover. Which, considering neither of us drink, is fine by us.

To be fair, she was buying a lot of the unbranded homemade stuff - that always costs more.

Both sound like a bundle of fun too.

I also remember those adverts "watch out there's a humphrey about"
