There used to be a shop in Lewes called Ron's that sold vintage confectionery. I think it was just old stock, though.

Do you remember "Bobsey's" down Talbot Terrace that sold tons of stuff by the 1\4 lb. Always used to get my different flavoured sherbert crystals from there !!!

Umm..black jacks and fruit salads...could get 8 for one old penny ....ah those were the days with 3penny bits and sixpences...could get a fair old whack of sweets with them....hmm...jamboree bags?

Anyone else remember Hedgehog flavored crisps?

Brannigans Beef and Mustard are lush, I think you can still get them though.

Brannigans, they sell those in Off Licences. I love lamb and mint. The crunch on those things...a true crisp.

Was it that my hands were small and grateful for those huge walnut whips filled with slimey marshmallow that I could get my tongue into, or have those revival immitations been shrunk to tiny nibbles?

abosutely incredable on reflection, I also remember in the 70's a disgusting tasting confection that looked (and tasted) like pubic hair that was served up in a tobacco style pouch
