I have only met two people who like topics and both were from the north east! Is it something in the water?
"Cor". Bash Street Jack.
Probably some secret Fack Monroe bat signal to attract a new older woman...nothing would surprise me with her! Just imagine how many penny chews you could have had Fack, if you'd stayed with millionaire Allegra!
(Just thought I'd mention it, cause it's a Bank hols weekend
)...
Oh @kachoochoo bless you. I certainly wouldn't want to be confronted with a rogue sausagetopics are lush and still in existence.
o/t Jack-worthy boring story time
back in college, topics were always the first to run out when the vending machine in the canteen was restocked, they were that popular in turn-of-the-century north shields.
one day, I spied what I believed to be an unclaimed topic in the bottom of the vending machine and swooped in, triumphantly
readers, it was a cold sausage in a topic wrapper, planted by a group of horrible boys who had a jolly good laugh at me
I googled it and it reminded me of the Pizza Hut salad bar from years ago which was a bit Meh

Worry not, I remember them at 4 for 1d, that would be 8 for 1p! Now that is a long time ago.
At least you didn't have to contend with pre decimalisation money calculations. How about a share of the weekly pay of £4 17s 8d divided between 4 friends and then multiplied it by the 17 weeks each person works. What did each friend receive? I really do remember those calculations and getting the ruler across my knuckles for getting it wrong.
See Jack, the older you get the more things cost. In another 30 years things will have an even higher price. It is the same with house prices, they generally get more expensive as time goes by, except in a financial crisis, but even then they recover. It is why wasting all your money on consumer goods that you do not need instead of saving a deposit is just stupid.
I wouldn't be holding out for a rich partner either, to let them buy you the forever home you seem to think you deserve. You are getting older Jack, you are no longer the cute little trophy wife, and you have little else to offer.

I have two great lockdown entertainment achievements
1. Finding this thread
2. Discovering below deck (I love Ben and all the antics)
This dead chat reminds me of me when I was at uni and smoked weed once and spent hours googling retro chocolate while having a SEVERE case of the munchies but was too stoned to go to the shop.
Is it “normal below deck” or the med one? I got absolutely obsessed with normal below deck because I’d like Eddie to do to me the sort of things Harry dreams Ian Hislop would do to her but I’ve not watched the med one and fear I’m missing out
On topic. Sweets. Cheaper in the 90s? Wow. Would never have guessed things would be more expensive 30yrs later. Thanks Jack! That’s made my Friday night!
Honestly, do a chaos, or something otherwise we will go wildly OT.
This has brought back so many happy memories of being young and very stoned and going to the 24 hour garage to get munchies with my mates. We must have looked a right state to the lovely Asian owners.
Oh and I’m a good fifteen years older than Jack and I can just about remember those Fry’s Five Centre cream bars. When I was a girl, you’d get two Mojos, BlackJacks or Fruit Salads for a penny. Those halfpenny sweets were brilliant, if you chose those you’d get double in your 10p mix-up. I’d get a pound note for my pocket money and I’d buy a quarter of strawberry bonbons, a Caramac and a packet of original Hubba Bubba (the best flavour) and still have over 50p left. Bloody hell, I’m turning into Jack wittering on like this.
I can remember penny sweets at 33, but blackjacks and the like were actually more pricey (2p? 3p?) as they were a bit fancier than a cola bottle. So she may remember penny sweets, but she’s bringing the prices down!
I can't contribute much to the vintage sweets chat, but I do miss getting gigantic bags of sherbert from the local sweet-shop when we went on holiday :') I'm still a bit resentful of my dad after he threw out my half-full bag of the stuff on the drive back ;-; Who needs drugs when you have 500g of pure sugar??
OMG I loooovve below deck!!!! So excited for a new series! I’ve seen all the old ones.
He did actually disagree with her a few months after declaring undead love for her recipes. I think he still followed her for a while. I liked Vampire Squiggle.Reckon it was the soft, soft light peeping though her pink velvet curtains (not a euphemism, all you filth mongers

You're never too old for a Colin the Caterpillar from yer Cabal
Just ask the Squiggles to send you some bloody pick n mix for god sake and stop waffling on.
My Mum was just complaining to me about Monty Don getting a new smaller dog after his old one Nigel passed (can’t wait to find out what vital information this has pushed out of my brain) and because I was trying to catch up with you ninnies I said, “Who, Mel Donte?” 
Oh god, she’s just asked me to compare her ear size to Kirsty Wark’s...spare me.
Jacktopic, aaah I see we’re at the Old Sweetie Shoppe cycle. Tit.
