Mmm! Black Jacks, Fruit salads, cherry lips and floral gums.
These are my faves, getting harder to get now though.

Clove Rock and bulls Eyes. Oh, and Cleeves toffee. We used to buy it by the square when coming home from school. Each square cost a 1/2 penny. It would last all the way home.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Rhubarb and Custards are my favourite - there's a small shop here that still has all the old sweets in big glass jars. Mind you the new range of Shetland Fudge is just heavenly - ate rather a lot of it over Christmas!~

I'm a choccy girl rather than sweeties - as is Dexter the dog! (I'm a cruel mum he's only allowed the smallest of pieces as it's not good for him!) DDLBernie aka DDL

We lived in the sticks - and I mean the sticks. There was no sweetie shop. Well actually, there was no shop within 20 miles. And my mother did not approve of sweets. They would rot your teeth and give you bad skin - and that was just if you looked at them. But , treat of treats, on a Saturday afternoon, we got a bar of McGowans Highland Toffee (cost 3d = 1.25p) between 4 of us. A whole 2 squares each. Then because we had ruined our appetites by eating sweets all day it was brown bread and fruit for Saturday night tea.
What sweets do I like now ? None. Never acquired the taste . Guess I had a deprived childhood.

Oh Alice, you poor thing! A friend of mine is Scottish and her mother was extremely like that (she still is actually!) When visiting her grandchildren some years ago, offered them half a biscuit each when they came home from school.
We were allowed some boiled sweeties on Friday when I was little, but as soon as I went to school in town (and there was a sweetie shop) I started finding all sorts that I liked. Probably explains why I'm overweight now!
