Mine is a bit sick...sorry.

But i love marzipan...(didn't know wether to drink my solar oil or rub in on my nails when i first sniffed it) so when i had finished my sunday morning paper round (remember the heavy one with all those sunday papers and mags) i would spend my paper money on a slab of marzipan (the type you use to decorate a cake with) and eat the lot.

The other sweets i loved and still do are liquorice wheels, with the jelly sweet in the middle.

I used to love Milk Tray Bar. It was either 6 or 8 of the chocolates you'd get in a box of Milk Tray and they were moulded together to form a bar of chocolate. In case you're wondering what dark age I'm from, I'm 46.

Ooh, I want one and I want it now. xxx :lick:
