Those old fashioned sweets which you cant seem to find anymore....

Well I've found a online shop: http://www.mrsbrowns.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

Check it out, they do most of the golden oldies & loads more, plus they ship abroad too, so you could be enjoying those old memories while sucking on your favorite sweets again :!:

Does anyone remember a chocolate bar called Loot? I don't think it was around for very long, but I remember devouring it.

A pineapple chunk almost got the better of me when it lodged in my throat. I am lucky to be here to tell the tale.

I was at Fassouri market just before Christmas, and "found" the sweet stall - OMG I spent a fortune! They had fruit salad, and black jacks, and walnut whips (but only with the walnut on top :cry: ), Fry's turkish delight, Frys chocolate cream bars. Absolutely wonderful, and brought back loads of memories. I must have a ride down there before Easter to see if they have Cadburys cream eggs, and the chocolate eggs with the sugar shell on them - yummy

I am sure there will be cream eggs on the bases, Jean. Next time I go in the shop I will pick some up for you if I see any.

I regularly buy Fry's Chocolate Cream. It is one of the benefits of working on an MOD base. :lol:

For the uninitiated, these are "Scotch Pies" traditionally made with mutton.
