I remember, during Last Tram Week in 1960, some of my classmates bringing bent pennies into school and proudly saying that they were bent by no. 506 or whatever. I also remember occasionally collecting old pop bottles and taking back to shops to get the deposit - I think you had to have the flip-back stopper to get the threepence back.

During the war our sweets were Spanish Liquorish, it came in a lump looking like coal. WE tried to smoke cinnamon sticks, not successful.

I always spice that were 4 a penny so I got more spice and of course the 1d bubbly, bazooka cos I like the cartoons inside. I seem to remember chewing the bubbly til my jaws ached. Happy days.

'Boiled spice' was the term used by my grandparents. No idea where the 'boiled' came from.

I started working for Sainsburys in 1975 when it opened on the moor. Most of the managers came from down south and had trouble with the local lingo. One got very confused after a customer asked him for spice only to be told no after showing her the spices on offer nutmeg etc that she wanted some for the kids. He asked me what he should do in future if someone asked for spice I told him to ask if they wanted sweets or for cooking.

If the young women who worked on the sweet counter formed themselves into a pop group. I wonder what name they would choose.
