Not round here!! I have also tried said stores in Great Yarmouth whilst visiting the in-laws......(more for drinking to numb the pain, rather than cleaning purposes there mind.......!)

Pacers - they were about the size of chew it's and were green and white striped. Lovely minty flavours

YES! I loved these as a kid, they were the size of OPAL FRUITS!!!!


I was just remembering the other day that in our local high street there was a shop called The Wool Basket, an old fashioned wool shop, with the glass counters with drawers that you could see everything in, and you asked for a length of ribbon etc and they cut it for you.

I miss Spira chocolate bars and I remember a whipped frozen desert topping as well. My nanna used to put it on the tinned fruit cocktail for pudding when I stayed over

I've just remembered Terrys Chocolate Lemon - a lemon version of their Chocolate Orange. Sadly they didn't sell them for long.

They did an orange version of after eight mints which didn't last long sadly.....in the shops or in my house!! :-)

Secret bars- strands of chocolate made into a nest with chocolate mousse in the centre. Gorgeous.
Tudor crisps Gammon and Pineapple crisps were my favourite, I can only find Brannigans Beef and Mustard that are anywhere near as nice.

i loved aztec bars saw them on a retro jigsaw puzzle and beta bars too . you can still find ringos from time to time in my asda i love the cheese and onion flavour

Ches

Chinese figs. Marmite crisps. Sherbert fountains. Farm shops that sold 1/4 hindquarters of beef that they would divide into the different cuts and bag up as requested. You even got the lump of suet that could be rendered down to make pastry etc. Farms that sold peas by the bucketful which I used to bag up into exact portion sizes and freeze. Farms that did Pick Your Own soft fruit/broad beans/sweetcorn etc also used to be portioned up and frozen. Much nicer and cheaper that SM stuff.

Another vote for Royal Scott biscuits.
And frozen Florida concentrated orange juice - made a fantastic orange sorbet when mixed with whipped up egg whites.
Frozen Lemon Mousse made a delicious quick pudding when half thawed and mixed with crushed up Crunchies. My children loved it.

There was a cleaning product that I have racked my brains to remember the name of. You used it on floors and it cleaned them and when dry the the floors shone. Magic on quarry tiles.
