I just adore sweets. Parma Violets were my favourite, and sherbet pips.

Now I'm more of a jelly sweet person.

Bloody hell, is there a secret camera on my front room? I have just had a pack of parma violets, and now having a pack of love hearts.

A bag of 'My sweet shop favorites' from poundland.

"Texan bars.

A man's gotta chew what a man's gotta chew!

I loved them.

If you whack a double decker in the fridge and then remove the biscuit bit on the bottom it's like going back in time.

Nowadays, there seem to be Olde Worlde Sweet shops opening up all over the place but it's a pity that Olde Worlde prices aren't included!

For me, favourites were:

Soor Plooms.

Floral Gums.

Hundreds and Thousands.

Bazooka Bubble Gum

Not a sweet, but who recalls Cremola Foam?
