Going back to grammar and speech. I agree with all the above. I canāt stand the way it is "mod"to start earning have sentence with āsoā. Also. This modern way of speaking when the voice goes up at the end, making each sentence sound like a question. That really riles me. I could go on but I wonāt! By the way. Donāt every let anyone make you feel less because of yr accent.we are all equal and accents are wonderful. I have had a lifetime of having the p. .so taken out of me because of my accent. I am a joker but enough is enough! Sleep tight all. Anne X

You can still get black jacks & fruit salads. Get them in wee packs like chewits. I know this because I bought a pack of fruit salads last weekā¦ My name is Libertineā¦ an Iām a penny sweetoholic 
Cigarette shaped sweets.
Me and my sister DID pretend to smoke them.
We used to call all sweets ātoffeesā.
thatās because our parents and grandparents did which is probably because they only had toffee when they were kids.
Hiya
I can still get all the sweets u mention.
Flying saucers, yummy!
and those peppermint flavour bars with a lattice pattern!
no wonder i had a lot of fillings!
i cringe now when i see children eating that sort of sticky sweet stuff.
they were good though!
All of the examples of bad grammer above. The one that really bugs me is Euros instead of Euro. There is no S
at the end!!!
Writing Xmas instead of Christmas is a pet hate.
Rhubarb rock was a favourite from childhood.

This āgrumpy grandmaā is going to make a Gingerbread House for the ābabygrandsā as l call them. l need some old fashioned sweets to decorate the roof etc. As they are vegetarian, l cannot use anything with jelly - gelatine in. So shall try rainbows drops for the tiles. ls there gelatine in marshmallows?
The recipie I have has gelatine but I know you can buy vegetarian marsh mallows.
Happy baking.
