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 ....

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
