Ah, wrestling. I had a friend who used to go and watch them wrestle at the Guildhall, Southampton. I went a few times, if only to shout FIX!!, and was lucky enough to see Big Daddy (Shirley Crabtree), Giant Haystacks, and many more. Thank goodness it's not on the telly anymore We Will Forget it quickly no doubt. Did you see what I did there?


Yes, very clever Andy, WWF. I used to love cola cubes, lovehearts, sherbert of any variety, refreshers (enormous chewy sweets with a fizzy sherbert center) and Mars Bars, which seem to be more like Milky ways nowadays, smaller and lghter. Oh and then there was fizzers and violets

Sherbert lemons were nice, but used to cut my mouth. I think my fave sweet of all time is the classic Pear Drop. My mum used to love them too, so I never ran short..

How about Wagon Wheels....you can still buy them now but they look more like the wheels you get on toy cars now, slightly shrunk in size LOL

We get the larger WW in a packet in the biscuit aile at the supermarket.
