Jules-and-Boo I guess as we age our taste buds are less sensitive so nothing tastes as good really especially when layered with a heady dose of nostalgia :)


Can I put in a request to carry these? Seeing as this is ED with a fair amount of French people and fans of their culture I bet they'd be a hit and I've always wanted to try them

OMG, my kids are going to be so happy. They have never quite got over the trauma of Hope and Greenwood turning into a dog shop. And then the false promise of the short-lived Sweet Sanctuary on North Cross Road, which turned out to be nothing of the sort. Make their dreams come true, Mr Simms!

Toffee bonbons (the ones with white outsides!) Treacle toffee! Plain Jane toffee! Those Sharps mixed toffees with crackly wrappers and lots of flavours! Butterscotch! Sherbet dips! Sugared almonds!


Can you still get those Old English (??) Spangles? I think they used to come in a black wrapper. Interesting flavours.


OMG my dentist won't be happy .... nor will my jeans ....

    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
    • Saying one thing so everyone can understand, and something different that only select people can understand is not inclusive, it’s dangerous.  
    • I'm not deliberately swerving anything. What exactly have they said in their communications in languages other than English that you object to? Why would they put those communications in other languages when the whole point was to connect with a specific group of people? Apologies if I've missed your point.
    • The point (which you're swerving) is not that the Greens spread their message in a language other than English - it's what they have said, and why they're shy about saying the same thing in other languages, including English. If a party in Northern Ireland circulates leaflets in Ulster Scots only that tells voters to elect them so they can be a strong Protestant voice, and has videos in Ulster Scots only that seek to discredit the First Minister by showing (a propos of nothing) images of them meeting the Pope - is that inclusivity or sectarianism?
