Still got mine somewhere. Cost 5 shillings I recall :-)

5 shillings! Bet you could get change out of a farthing back then and buy a bag of chips ;-) Can remember buying ice-creams with little silver thruppenny bits though...

Aye, and pennies with Queen Vic on one side and Britannia on t’other. Four gobstoppers for an ha'penny, liquorish whips (don’t ask) and liquorish sticks that’d last a day and a half and leave a trail of chewed fibre behind you that’d stretch back for miles. We even used to put our chewing gum into water overnight. Them were the days, the rot set in when we joined the EU.
