I used to love Huntley and Palmer's breakfast biscuits. They were square, with rounded corners, and crisp and crunchy. |

I miss Cadbury's Tiffin Bar. :-S Remember those boxes of sweet cigarettes, I don't expect we'll see those again, but we used to use them as lipstick as children. :-) |

LadyScozz, in the early 80s I worked in a toy shop that had lots of little things (1 penny up) for stockings, puzzles, fortune fish, dice, those little toys where you pushed up the base and the animals legs wobbled, plastic parachutists, magnetic ladybirds lol. Used to be fun at Christmas working there. |

Rose, I got a pack (small) of Coffee Latte chocs from our local Sainsbury to munch while I'm watchign telly. I've seen them in other stores this season. They are in a flattish square box and are made by BEECH'S - 10 in a box. Beech's also do violet creams (not opened them yet but a similar set up looking at the box. Also gingers. |

There's not many of the Cadbury's christmas decorations around Ann, I used to put them in Dan's advent calendar but they don't taste the same either. |

My Mum and then my OH loved chocolat brazils. These days the chocolate coating tastes synthetic. |
