What were your fave sweets.
My fave sweets were Spearmint penny arrow bars. Fruit salads. Value for money at 4 a penny. Munchies My Dad was in the army and worked behind the bar in the mess and brought us munchies to eat on the way to school. mmm.
In the summer would rather buy peaches. Also liked pinapple chunks and those sour grape spuggies also hubba bubba great for big bubbles that spread over the face.

Have a very sweet tooth, loved coconut ice, fruit salads, blackjacks, those coconut mushroom thingies, still like midget gems and parma violets, remember spearmint penny arrow bars. Surprised I still have all my teeth really ;D but my dad would only let us have sweets on saturdays. ;D

Japs?

Think that's what they were called. Small square coconutty things, with a sort of coloured icing coating on the outside.
