Did anyone have a twisted barley sugar stick with chocolate that went down through the middle?I spent my thruppence on 3 sticks of those every saturday.
I would suck the stick into a sharp point,then snap it off to enjoy the chocolate bit in the middle.

Fruit Salads - every time.
The shop where I used to go and buy my 4 for a penny, it was one of those old places with a really high counter full of those huge tall sweetie jars. I was such a tiny tot that I could only just reach up to the counter and many times they didn't even see me !!!!

Ooh, bringing back memories - going into the sweetshop after Sunday School. Not only black jacks, and fruit salad! How about rainbow drops, sherbet dabs, liquorice sticks, barleysugars.....
