I hate to go on(no I don't) about earlier days. Now I want you all to say aah!

I never saw sweets till I was 14 years old, other than 'medicinal sweets' like victory V, Zube Zubes and the old favourite Fishermans Friends.

I remember the days running up to the end of sweet rationing. The shop acroos from the school covered it's window so that we could not see what was getting put on display. On the big day the whole(well almost) school had formed a queue outside the shop.

It really was like a kids dream come true. Back to the post. What were we on about?
