I heard once that single men are jealous of married men but also vice versa.Normally on a Friday night just after the pubs have shut LOL!

 I remember some sort of pink strawberry flavoured bar that was similar to milky bar (like strawberry chocolate) can't really describe it, but it was delicious.

Three main venues for your sweets; MACE on Hawthorn Ave. Ossy, one just up from St.Paul's that sold licorice bootlaces (still the best), black jacks, fruit salad & mojos (all 4 for a penny). Bags of saspirillas, coltfoots rock, rainbow sherbet and Victory Vs. There was a newsagent bang opposite the bottom part of St.Pauls that used to have a Beech Nut chewing gum machine on the outside wall. During school breaks we could buy cheese biscuits or chocolate fingers for a penny (that's pre-decimal guys!). When it went decimal we were offered penny wafers. And what about non PC purchases like tobacco sweets; packs of cigarettes with pink tips, chocolate cigars and sweet rolling tobacco in pouches. How did our teeth ever survive??
