I’m in the area next week I shall pop and get some supplies as the shop in Edinburgh is subject to the fucking team work shit show that is Leith. Cheaper than Simms by a fair way though. Get down to Bury market- Lawsons sweets. Pick your own penny, two-penny, 5, 10p etc stuff. Jars galore, pre packed bags etc. Not been for ages, but maybe I should.
January 13, 20224 yr https://stockleys-sweets.co.uk/ Also had the pleasure of having my van ply-lined at a company adjacent to this place. Ultra fine sugar powder being extracted by fans and landing on the leaves of a tree we were stood under. The smell was awesome. Can order your own jars and have a personal sweet shop in your living room.

Spent ages trying to spend my 20p as far as i could. The woman fucking hated us kids 😂 icy cups and those golf ball chewing gums. Proper toffees. Edited January 13, 20224 yr by bolton_blondie

I helped him out in the early days, I always told him to give me first refusal if he ever sold up, i though it would be a great retirement business. He ended up selling it to a bigger outfit without asking me, in my mind it has now lost it's soul but I'm not bitter as covid must have hit it hard, the shop space was no bigger than my hall, that was why people queued outside. https://www.goodiessweets.co.uk/

Last time i went she said help yourself. Think she regretted saying it 😂😂

Every Sunday, me and my brother to get a 10p bag. They did half penny ones then too, so could get a nice little selection. Not been a shop for years now. Shame.

January 14, 20224 yr Author Skydivers were the preferred snack at primary school, then Meanies (pickled onion only) and burger Quarterbacks. Space Raiders are fucking 30p these days, scandalous - I'm going to write to Hanif Kureshi and tell her to bring it up in Parliament.

Burton's made Fish n Chips and the harder to find Chicken n Chips - however they were biscuits not crisps. As an aside did anyone else buy a Kit-Kat that was just chocolate - like winning the lottery that. Wasn't there a 'flavour and shake' once - crisps? You never see curry crisps either these days, Walkers did a balti one but their crisps are shite, I blame Gammy toe Lineker and his sleazy brother. Are the chicken n chips still about ? I’m craving like a smack head.

Amazon probably claim to sell them - but don't, just clickbaiting. Be warned, I had a pack of Fish n Chips and they were very bland - reduced the salt and mad chemicals content, why? Didn't do us any harm.
January 14, 20224 yr Always found it strange that the Levers often get mentioned on here yet the king of them all, Darcy, barely registers. Presume jealousy must be behind it.

The fish n chips used to make you sweat and even stung your mouth. Proper hardcore. Had a bid last week and still nice but I know what you mean.
January 14, 20224 yr Author Discos still have the licking a 9v battery taste, but Salt and Vinegar Square Crisps are a pale shadow of the ones in our childhood. Knik-Knaks Scampi Flavour? Used to pretend you'd fingered someone - nowhere to be seen today.
