Just for fun (nothing to do with Quesada)

Hi All...I remember "Tiger nuts" and Licorice wood...To this day I still do not know what they actually were all I remember is that Tiger nuts secreted a milky sort of juice and Licorice wood I used to chew until it went all soft then it was thrown away. Walking home from School at lunchtime many years ago ...1960 ish
I was outside Rochester Row Police station (Pimlico) and I found a sixpenny piece...I was so worried about the find ..outside a police station etc that I went into the next sweet shop along the road and asked the proprietor "How much are those penny ice lollys" To this day I will always remember the way he said "Why a penny of course son"...Five pence change ...I was loaded.

You can still buy that on Torrevieja market. When, of course, we have another market day.

What about Spanish tobacco think it was coconut shreds used to love that and the pretend fags that had a little red tip made of shiny paper with a few sprinkles of white stuff so it looked alight with ash. I felt so grown up with one of them hanging out my mouth
