Archie's not too clued up on rationing, but I hear he's got a plethora of stories from the Boer war! Was that the war with all the snakes?

I remember them from when I was a kid, they were called 'Mambo Jubbly' if my memory serves me correctly - they were massive compared to the tiny ones they make today!

I was a 'Scorcher and Score' lad, myself. Not sure that I would have allowed my kids to buy a football mag with that title!

fruit salad and blackjacks used to be two a penny as well.
good spot on nicholas lyndhurst downy. looks incredibly young on that but it can't be too many years before 'butterflies', surely?
agreed on ed tudor-pole, but 'swords of a thousand men' is still great...

pretty sure i had that 'look-in'. had a great six million dollar man t-shirt as well.
can't believe i'd forgotten bones gazz. used to love 'em, and rancheros too. and a little bit later wickers with timothy claypole in the advert. and bitza pizza. probably explains a lot about me being house-sized now - back then we used to burn off all the crisps, chocolate bars and my mum's and corona pop. then the sedentary lifestyle of my adulthood...

Treets, exile?
There was also a hard-coated chocolate variety, which became Minstrels.
