Re: New British Lolly Shop on the Gold Coast.....
As a young thing in Wales, I had a passion for MackIntosh chocolate. No one I talk to seems to remember it. It was very thin, with a caramel flavour. It was my favourite, besides the good old bounty bar.

Whilst on a recent visit to the Gold Coast, we ventured up to Sanctuary Cove, and around the marina there are some shops/restaurants (probably a proper place name but couldnt tell you what) and there was a shop there that sold UK confectionary, kids were pleased to get their paws on a giant rainbow dust straw filling machine .....

Da Boss used to work for the BLS in Cairns.
I didn't buy anything meself but didn't say no to the Ripples she brought home for me.
Worst thing about the shop was the amount of out of date stuff they would sell.
The shops get their supplies from importing company Blue Thistle in Perth.

Our products are distributed to wholesale outlets across Australia and New Zealand.

Here's the link in case Soapy wants to order a container of Smiths crisps.

Coo candy we called it in Aberdeen - it was lovely - a dentist's dream.

The little ones were nicer anyway - but one was never enough.
What about Galaxy Counters - they were my favourites when i was wee - they were chocolate buttons and they were a white pack with animals on (the giraffe was my fav!)
Like the flat ones in Revels - yum - much nicer than Cadbury's buttons.
and Fry's 5 centers - mmmmmm
