Used to get a 10p pic and mix from my local newsagents (and actually got 10 sweets for my money, bet I'd only get 2 or 3 these days)

P.O. Box DE1 0NQ

We used to have an Arkwright character who owned our local village sweet shop. He had a pair of wooden step ladders which he used to reach all the jars on the top shelf. We used to send him up for a particular jar, watch him weigh them out and wait until he had put his ladders away, then ask for a 1/4 of whatever sweets were in the next jar. Easily amused us kids

In case anyone wonders, they's a website called 'a quarter of'. I could spend a fortune on it.

I get sports mix or midget gems, or a quarter of all black sports or midget gems.

Our local sweet shop is an old fashioned one with hundreds of jars lining the walls. I love it.

Hacks, lemon crystals, rhubarb and custard.

A while ago we visited one of the slate mines in Ffestiniog, they have an old fashioned sweet shop with sweets in glass jars and the tin Hacks jar ( with the picture of the vicar sneezing).

They give you predecimal money to buy the sweets and then sell them to you in grams

It was usually a quarter of midget gems and I always asked for no black ones (not racist, just can't abide licorice)...I would probably get arrested nowadays
