Lore, don't think they were Bazooka joes they tasted well, like, um chewy. But I do remember germolene chewy's (we did call them that), the tuck shop on crofton road used to sell them. Aaarrrhhh, Mrs Ward....

[Lore]

haha Joby, I know the people who own that house now!
I didn't like the newsagents opposite 'my mums' - who used to sell massive boxes of broken biscuits for �1 - bargain!! anyway, it began with a G.. MR G........... oh that's gonna bug me now,

And earlier on the little old fella who had the shop on the corner opposite Saunders - Mr Rushden (oh it's all coming back!) a few doors up from Cunningham's chippy - they sold white peas, Yummy!

im just wondering were these the germolene ones????

[steviep165]

by the way Neenee, someone is selling scented ottos on ebay!!!

[Lore]

That's right Neenee, I'm sure it was the comic strip ones that tasted of germolene, but those happy faces were plastered all over my body when I had enough pennies to get a bag full!

I know you can still get them but huba buba were good too.. how many of them could you fit into your mouth without slobbering all down your chin!

i loved Space Dust too!

i remember Pacers (green and white striped mints)

and i loved Nutty bars...it has a kind of fudgey centre with peanuts all round the outside!

and someone mentioned on another thread..and jogged my memory - Secret bars...marshmallowy in the centre and a chocolate kind of 'weave' on the outside.

[unruliejulie]

I'm with you Neenee with the space dust, purely for the novelty factor of it!!!

Gillies, Lore Gillies,,

Mr Rushden had the sweet shop by the police station, I know, my dad bought his car, (with free fruit pastilles)

I know the shop you mean tho, he was famous for fireworks on bonny night!

[joby1]

Oh no, just thought, Dot and Ken, she was disabled and he was a perve. Took over Rushden's, I know what you are on about now! :-))

[Neenee]

stevie..... just ordered my scented otto's lol ;-))))

[Lore]

noooooOOOOOo there was a little dotty old man who owned one by the pram shop. He was called Mr Rushden - maybe they were brothers?! lol - I'm talking 1970's here!
I just remember the little, dark, dusty shop, you could get a quarter of anything there!

I never did like those alphabet candy things tho!

ooo, TOOTY FRUITY's - were they the little square shaped sweets?

Flumps! oh my life, I love flumps!
