No reason now why you can't take a photo.

You correct Willow is now getting 'slimey' .. they are talking of getting rid.
Perhaps they will replace with the world's largest humbug ..(I await sarcastic comments )

Didn't take a photo, as Nikkival found one.

Not a chemist Margaret .. sure there is a scientific explanation, not petrochemicals I suspect, probably to do with sugar and oxygen or summat

Meant the sugar in the pear drop pipinfort .. not the outer coating. LOL . yes pear drops are sugared on the outside too, aren't they .. they fit into the roof of your mouth and nearly take the skin off if you suck too hard.

Maybe everyone would be a bit more patriotic if they were Welsh and had been downtrodden by the english for the last 1600 years!

Yeah, it's such a shame for poor lasses like Dame Shirley Bassey, Katherine Jenkins, Bonnie Tyler, Kerry Katona, Charlotte Church, and Catherine Zeta Jones.

Being oppressed, and downtodden by the nasty English, has really held their careers back.

Have you watched Charlotte Churchs chat show? She goes on and on about being welsh! Personally I dont see what the fuss is about.

I have to agree with you there, I get the Mickey taken out of me for my 'O's too... Words like Tesco, coat, coke. I say them completely different to anyone round here!!

Why do people from Yorkshire pronounce it 'Yarkshire'?
