Anyone remember the small dairy milks that were 2d or 3d . my gran would give us 6d to spend in the cheap corner of the sweet shop. It was tough work maximising the take in terms of volume per penny ? fizzes, love hearts, black jacks, penny arrows Rainbow drops, tiger nuts chewing wood. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
