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.

I remember my grandma and grandad always having a box of Weekend in the 70s. I loved space dust and sweet necklaces.

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
