I'm going to the sweet shop, what you having?

They don't make them like they used to and I'm not a fan of Haribo.

I'll have some boiled sweets please - Rhubarb & Custard or Aniseed Twists and maybe a Frys Turkish Delight to put in the fridge to chill so it makes the chocolate easier to nibble off with my teeth.

They have similar tastes in the Caribbean, mixing chilli with salt and tamarind. I'd try it and probably like it.

Lol, I actually don't have a sweet tooth at all, I favour savoury tastes. I very rarely eat chocolate, but would happily scoff a bag of crisps!

A Wagon Wheel please, a jammy one. If you can find an original one I will have that, it may be past it's sell-by date but I remember them as much bigger. (Or perhaps I was just smaller).

If they haven't got Wagon Wheels, a Tunnocks Teacake will do nicely

Some of those squishy milk bottle gummy things pleases!


TBF, I'm hugely missing all things Cadbury, but from a proper sweet shop, rhubarb and custard thingies or those milk bottle squishies :D :D
