We're obviously talking about the wee bars here.

Nestle secret bars, Cadbury spira's, when caramel freddos were taz bars. Or when chewy penny cola bottles were thin and not that chubby haribo shite.

Bus fare to the BB? I had to walk 3 miles each way in the dark. (No street lights in farmers fields!). Still got money for collection and a quarter of wine gums though.
