lovely story about sugar... my parents lived through the last war in this country and therefore hadn't seen sugar for many years. they used to feed me sugar sandwiches for birthdays and special occasions only (after the rationing.
They used to have these fab sherbert fountains with licorice staws. I'll look it up. Bassets.
After that, I got into chocolate. I still try to tell kids these days this story but they don't listen and they've all got rotten teeth. I used to get one chocolate bar a week. I used to spend 5 or 6 days deciding whether I'd choose the Mars Bar or the Bounty Bar. Once I got Maltesers. I tried the Rolo and loved it.
My brother and I used to have to go and fetch my father from the Pub on a Sunday afternoon while my mum was doing the roast dinner. We'd get to pick a chocolate bar at the shop. and it would sit there on the mantlepiece till we'd finished our dinner. Yum
