Oh mar, you did make me laugh re the mixed infants. It sounds such a quaint idea these days, doesn't it - girls and boys both in one playground while in "the Infants", then in "the Juniors" having separate playgrounds or at least separate entrances. I went to several different schools because my DF's job meant frequent moves, but I remember one of them had those entrances, and so did the one all three of our children went to.

Mar about the sherbet fountains, do you know that these days the liquorice "straw" has been replaced with a plastic one? Shocking, I call it!

nannywindow I loved Fry's Five Boys choc. They used to do "Milk Sandwich" and "Plain Sandwich" too. One consisted of 2 milk choc layers with a plain choc layer in between, and the other was 2 plain layers with a milk choc layer in between, but I can't remember which was which and it's irrelevant now anyway as both are defunct

OH got on all right at hospital, and as I thought, he'll be on stomach meds as soon as he can get to see the GP.

THANKYOU! I knew those chocolate sandwiches existed but my husband didn't believe me.

Was Fry's Five Boys the one with the different fruit flavoured centres? I loved that one, my dad would buy them and let me have the lime bit - which explains my fondness for lime creams!

Floss I believe that was Fry's chocolate cream - 5 centres. Wish you could buy that nowadays, it was lovely.:)

Fry's Chocolate Fondant was always my fave as a child and since

ETA I've had a very very long day, so have only read the last few posts...I do hope I am not days out of date and the current conversation has nothing to do with my comment above

Hope our new fence is a sturdy one, I need propping up just now

Fry's Five Boys was chocolate, the other one was Fry's Five Centres,

Burtha I went through exactly the same some years ago following 13 years of marriage. Had no idea.


Believe me when I tell you the world hasn't ended. It will be horrid for a while, but you will come out the other end happier and stronger.


Chin up poppet.
