There was also those compressed sherbet lollipops. A round piece of concrete on a stick, rockhard, you had to grid it away with your teeth.

What about those 12" barley sticks , you could also get another version with chocolate running through the centre , I used to have one of the chocolate ones every Saturday from the papershop that I fetched my Beezer comic from , I loved Saturdays Beezer in one hand choc twist in the other . After that I set off to fetch the neighbours errands. The one sweet I did have a passion for was liqorice I could eat it in any form the root version , the allsorts , the wheels , the hard type , I'm only too sorry nobody bought me a liqorice selection box at Christmas, maybe this year hopefully
