Mmmm yeah pacers were niiiiiice.

They do still do black jacks.

Flying saucers - I like them for the sherbet. Know what you mean though with the rice paper though but it's no different to eating wotsits or quavers - they're made from or in part polystyrene.

Slightly off topic, but when K****** P****** in class 3M told me she'd started to get hairs on her sweetie, i'd now be able to inform her that one day she'd learn how to remove them.

No - I'm purposely NOT looking. Otherwise there'll shortly be a very big parcel heading my way and my dentist will be rubbing his hands with glee. It's very tempting to go have a look though.

Anyone remember a crisp type savoury snack called 'Odduns?' They came out in late 1985 and were in three different flavours, a beef flavour, a salt and vinegar flavour but the last flavour escapes me.

They were only available from about September 85 for about 18 months. They were rather moreish. A similar snack came out about 12 years or so ago, Bugles. They vanished quickly too....

Can't abide liquorice and always used to go into our sweetie shop and ask for 2oz (or a quarter if I had 10p) of midget gems, but no black ones please....would be arrested nowadaysby the PC PCs

(and the shop lady always filtered out those yucky liquorice sweets for me)
