No - not the lovely posters here but Ch 5 recently showed programmes on the nation`s favourite sweets and chocolates and I was wondering what your favourites are and are there any you miss?

Me? Fav chocolate - Cadbury`s Fruit & Nut; and sweets I miss are Spangles and Fruit Gums

I used to love the TV ads - "Everyone`s a Fruit & Nutcase" and "Dont forget the fruit gums, Mum"

I have a Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe near where I live and they have some sweets I loved as a kid. Actually now I'm tempted to go buy some of those white minty liquorice chalks.  They also have some nice salty liquorice, although I miss the super spicy ones from my childhood which I at the same time enjoyed and also almost had to spit out. Hard to find those here unless ordering online.

Another place with olde sweet shop?

How come the Midlands are missing out?

We have a sort of olde sweet shop where you can get jars or boxes of sweets in Issy

I doubt they stock these now unless they have been renamed in these PC times
