Cola pips at 5p a quarter. You got loads and me and my friend (who now lives in Caloundra) used to go up to Toad Rock, in Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and spit them out at unwanted tourists!!!
Also pacers, pineapple cubes, toffee crumble, and really manky crisps for 5p like pharie wheels and anything that was less than 10p!
(Yes we were fat children!!!!!!!)
Remember when twix was 9p! Polos 7p and a Corneto was less than 50p!!!!!
Oh my god I have turned 30 and am realising that I am actually getting a bit older. Shit where is the wine!!!!!

Re: Favourite sweets from your childhood years
We used to get rainbow sherbet, weighed and poured into a little paper cone, used to lick our finger to make the sherbet stick to it and then lick it off.
Trouble was we would insist on lying to mom that we hadn't had sweets before our dinner and our coloured fingers were quite obvious !!
Also loved fruit salads and blackjacks.

Re: Favourite sweets from your childhood years
those pinky / purple little boiled sweets that tasted a bit musky.....are those parma violets? YUM also Coals from Newcastle were yummy, but ditto what others have said about anything that was less than about 10p. I still remember going down our corner shop and loading up on 1/2p cola bottles. They have to be my absolute fave!!
