      Oh god yeah, I did that too! I also used to just go for the bog standard plaits. Once I had lots of small three strand plaits I'd make them into one giant one... I think I was a very weird child! I also think I'll be going to Woolies tomorrow to buy some laces!

    Used to love anything with aniseed or licorice and still do. Did you ever but the licorice 'Catherine wheels'?

  You should have seen the Newsagent's face when I used to spend 6p on buying 3 fruit salad sweets after school. I also liked Drumsticks and Refreshers...yum!

    I must be older than you then as black jacks and fruit salad were 4 for an (old) penny

  Parma violets seem to be the only sweets that have actually got bigger since my childhood. Strange .
