Presumably...I've no idea when it comes to metric weights (in my day it was "a quarter of..."). But I think you are right, as they do small, medium and large bags (I always ask for small). Does any of this make sense?::o

Me too. I developed a taste for them as a child trying to get the most sweets for my 10p (usually stretched to 2 ounces of sweets which isn't many if you get large things like sherbert lemons).

ha ha - sherbert lemons. Nothing could cut the roof of your mouth like those (other than sherbert strawberries). It was a real test of endurance to see how many you could scoff before the presence of bits of skin dangling from your (now sore and bleeding) palate forced you to stop. The lure of that sherbert...irresistable.

Dear Chums,


I have just spoken to my friends at Lions, makers of the best Midget Gems we know of.


Lions are in the process of transferring Midget Gems to, ?No artificial colours or flavours?. They are aware that the current batch of gems is a little softer than usual and ask you to bear with them until they get the recipe just right.


You will notice at Hope and Greenwood that many of our products are now No Artificial Colours and Flavours, including most of our Pick and Mix lines.


Thank you for pointing out the Midget Gem debacle, Mr Greenwood and I are most sorry for letting you down.


Miss H

I knew that it could not be your fault Miss Hope.


When your shop opened it filled a gap in my life that had been missing since childhood - proper midget gems. Lions will get the new ones right soon I'm sure.


But please tell them that there are people out there in ED who are happy to risk their lives once every couple of weeks with the old style artificial flavours/colours ones.


If they want to mark the bags with a cigarette style government health waring, I'll still eat them....no matter how great the risk - I am a brave man when it comes to sweets. You are a long time dead. Life's for living and midget gems are for chewing - hard.

So true, but they are still my favourites (lemons above strawberry, but both ae good). When on a weekend in Rye a couple of years ago, there were several "traditional" sweetshops, and I came back with bags and bags of stuff. Have to say it was a lot cheaper than H&G too, but that is hardly surprising.

Dear Miss Hope - on a recent visit to your fine establishment, I noticed that you don't seem to stock Firemen's Hoses. Are there any plans to introduce them in the future? I am asking on behalf of others, as it was my great misfortune as a child to over-indulge on them and make myself 'ill', thereby preventing me from enjoying them ever again... :(

I need to know :)


Are Midget Gems those round flat things made of white chocolate with hundreds and thousands stuck all over one side of them, or are they the tiny jelly like things of different colours which are a bit chewy and have different flavours?


Thanks in anticipation of your reply, and I can't wait till H & G open their ice cream counter again and have those praline caramel ice cream things YAY I'm going all funny just thinking about it :)-D

Mr Woof


Liquorice "Pipes" with the 100's & 1000's on - Yes we have those and they are as rare as hens' teeth - we have to import them.


Fish & Chips - Of course we have them.


Chocolate tobacco - how could you doubt us? Made by only 2 people in the UK and yes,in stock.


You didn't ask, but Golden Nuggets? Bazooka Joes? Yes and yes.


Oodles


Miss H

I think.....


I'm in love, but I'm trying to keep Miss Hope at arms length


She walks me dangerously up the yes ladder with her "cornucopia of confectionary"


I bet she's secretly married to a cosmetic dentist & that shop is but a baited trap



"Snap" it goes & traps my heart



Naughty.....(but nice)

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
