Just to make members aware of a wee shop in Renfrew that sells many old fashioned sweets by mail order. Chelsea Whoppers, MB bars etc. They even sell the modern equivalent of Creamola Foam.

    I looked at the website and apparently it is only 5 minutes from Glasgow.
    (The shop not the website!)

    Glasgow must have moved recently unbeknown to me.

    Pop down to Rye in Sussex - a few of these retro sweet shops there, and much nearer than Scotand lol

    Please excuse my enthusiasm, I thought that one of the aims of this site was to promote and highlight good customer service and traders, amongst other matters. Apologies if it's not. New member or not, everyone has to start somewhere. 5 posts now if anyone is counting, I don't. They will also send to armed forces for free with a BFPO address in Afghanistan. And, yes there are many other suppliers out there, I've just not used them yet!
  • Retro sweet shops are popping up everywhere, we even have one here, which is remarkable as we don't have much to get excited about.

    So did I. Thank you, from me at least, for taking the time to post about the good service.

    just had a look and was interested in a few things, but at £6.70 thought the postage too extortionate!!
