Jelly babies are lovely. Hard to resist when they are right under your nose. On offer at Tesco for 67p a bag too. Percy pigs from M&S are good too but not such a bargain. :-)“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot.

MSE Guy is entitled to a right of reply - but he's probably too busy crunching kit kats the wrong way

"But in the same circumstances, with jelly babies under your nose, could you have refused?"
I truly hope I am never on national radio talking about the chaos caused by a volcano...if I ever were in that situation, I shall try and remember to not have a packet of jelly babies, nor any other tempting sweet within reaching distance.
Thanks for another piece of sound adviceWho made hogs and dogs and frogs?

Jelly babies? Nope. Can't resist them.
My 3yo has left a pack here that her granddad bought her... she's going to have to finish them off real soon or there won't be any left!!0 -
So Martin can resist everything except temptation. tut tut...Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

Yes I could easily have resisted, I'm a vegetarian and jelly babies contain gelatine and cochineal.If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.
If you do like it please hit the thanks button.0 -

Yes, I could have refused - I'd rather have these.0
