Re: SWEETS
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!

Re: SWEETS
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.

Re: SWEETS
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??
