    #32 Cadburys Rum and Raisin, currently on sale at W H Smith £1.50 a bar, or 2 for £2.00, it would be churlish not to buy them in 2's

    Also try Lidl's Rum and Raisin ice cream 4% real rum, rather than rum flavouring, very morish

    every thursday night walked 1 mile home from choir practice to save the 3d bus fare just to buy a bar from the pub in my village, sometimes 3 penny chews of same toffee, happy days.

    Turkish delight, still available and bars of Fry's Turkish Delight,
    made by Cadbury. It was launched in the UK in 1914 by the Bristol chocolate
    manufacturer J. S. Fry & Sons and consists of a rose-flavoured Turkish delight
    surrounded by milk chocolate. The Fry's identity remained in use after Fry &
    Sons merged with Cadbury in 1919.

    'Spangles' Terry, not sure if it was the same one but there was one on the Windsor at one time.

    We had a lollie here some years ago but now gone I think.
    It was white on the inside bit like marshmallow and covered in chocolate.
    We refered to it as a Witchery Grub.
    That is a big grub the Aboriginie's love to eat.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
