You're 10, It's Saturday

You've got your pocket money and you're in the sweet shop. What are you buying?

American hard gums, please, and a refresher chew

[Mozz71]

Lots of random pick n mix. Pink shrimps, candy cigarettes, white mice, rhubard & custard chews, anything blackcurrant flavoured (always loved blackcurrant) and a Wham bar.

ah yes forgot about the white choc mice!

I spent one of my school summer holidays helping out in a little sweetie shop after I had done my shift in a bakers.

Got to select a cake to have on my T-break and I also got paid.  I think I was about 14 at the time.  Then it was next door into the sweetie shop to help out and usually came home with a quarter of mixed boilings or a bar of Lindt Chocolate.

Tom thumb drops, and a mivvi,  then maybe some crayons and a colouring book.

There wasn't a sweet shop as such. But Saturday was the weekly shop at the A & P supermarket and my weekly treat was a bundle of lollipops. They were like round super sweet balls on a stick, and lasted ages.

Were they called Chubba or similar, pasta?

Mivvi's were out of my price range 

 

[pastafreak]

Quite possibly Barry. They were tied up in a little bundle...I had one for each day of the week.
