We always discuss this in work and we tend to agree the likes of quarter backs, sherbet dips, fish&chip crisp etc will never be replaced?!

For anyone who is interested, a lot of these sweets are still available via a UK website I know, if anyone wishes to PM me, and I will be happy to forward details.

Plus I know of 2 shops, one in Hull, and one in Cottingham, between Hull and Beverley, which both do a lot of these sweets!
