Ohh I forgot to say I loved Spanish tobacco. It had two of my favourite tastes coconut and lots of sugar. I ate three blocks of it one morning and I boaked it all up later in the day.

Well after I turned white, was speeding out of my tree. Tossed my breakfast, lunch and the three blocks over my good Sunday chapel jacket and trousers. The priest was not very happy

Turns out he was full of altar wine, and didn't like everybody looking at me.

Well there you go. Every day is, as "they" say, a school day (anyone know who "they" are by the way?) I've never heard of "Spanish Tobacco" but I've googled it and it doesn't sound all that appetizing? Shredded coconut laced with sweet flavouring? I love the taste of coconut but can't get on with the texture of the flesh. For example that old Scottish favourite Snowballs: https://www.tunnock.co.uk/products/snowballs/ would be great if it wasn't for the shredded coconut they're coated with.

Mine was Nuttals Mintos, I looked for a photo but they all seem to be imitations, I used to love crunching them up.
These days I love a good short crust pasty or steak and kidney pie, but something most bakers have stopped doing is lardy cake, we used to get it in squares heavy with sugar and lard, probably deemed to unhealthy these days. I thought I had found a shop selling them, but to say it was a poor copy was being kind.

I like unhealthy, its good for you!

Black jacks 4 a penny mo-jo's 8 a penny, those littel mini cadbury's milk choc stick bars and caramacs which I could eat till i burst. Then the liquorice sticks and things you used to get one or two for a penny and sherbert loose even better than teh sherbert fountains. In my 30's I had a big thing for Galaxy Ripple and Refreshers or eben better Love Hearts. I have probably eaten at least half a ton of caramel / toffee chewing nuts too. Mint munchies, Munchies, Rolos. Thinking about it just about anything and everything.

Childhood obesity wasn't prevalent much in the 50's - early 80's, as we all ran ourselves ragged in the playgrounds of the UK and Europe. Kids nowadays eat the same hi starched, sugar snacks, but play with their phones, and not British bulldogs or playground games. Chicks played ropes-elasticband games-hitting a ball in a sock off a wall or window. Boys played thirty a side playground death football.

Jumpers and jackets for goalposts. Much fun, many a skint knee. Chicks with their skirts tucked in their underwear.

Ohhh missus. Oohh the affronrery of youth. I should wash my mouth out with carbolic soap.

Rain sheds main poles, as goals. Jackets, jumpers or a bin or two in other side. 'Game on'. You have only fifteen minutes to impress the girls and boys, with your cavalry charge on each others goals. That's were 'playground rules' comes from. I.e. no rules, as long as it takes, twenty - nineteen. Nobody gets killed, no blood spilt. Kids huh. I surprised any of us made the school team????
