	I was going to say flying saucers but Sue beat me to it, yes liked imps as well and something that looked like wood but tasted like liquorice. Liked sherbert fountains but also liked the sherbert powder that was yellow and sometimes pink that you ate by dipping in your finger. (Thinking about it hygene wasn't very good was it?)

	Cough candy, remember a little shop in Islington, they used to make all the old fashioned sweets and the man had a captain hook hand and used to pull and twist the candy, never tasted any as good since. Carol
