Ah, I have one teenager, and two grown up children. I have grand children too and one, is exactly 4 weeks younger than my teenager ( auntie and niece, my granddaughter) GD was due at he end of October, my teenager was due November 30, but my teenager was 7 weeks early and GD was 2 weeks late, they even went to the same Nursery and Infant school, different classes though. One would shout mummy, and the other Nana at the end of school, I certainly turned a few heads as the other parents probably thought they heard wrong

Digestives with Caramac on? OMG, I have gone through life without having tasted one and never even heard of them til today. If they are still made I know I wouldn't be able to resist so probably best if they aren't

Milk and honey creams were my favourites, wish they still made them! Not that I'd eat them now of course!

Relax Janiept, I'm pretty sure they don't make 'em any more, even though I've not lived in UK for 37 years (otherwise I'd have got them shipped over!) My absolute all time favourite biscuit though was like 2 frosted vanilla sugar coated biscuits sandwiched together with vanilla cream. Swiss creams maybe? I was only a kid ... used to get something pretty similar here in Oz called Swiss Creams but of course they stopped making them.Digestives with Caramac on?

Maybe you could melt some caramac and coat a digestive in it ... it would be a shame for you to have missed out on the Caramac Digestive experience altogether!Digestives with Caramac on?

Yeah but then we'd eat them .... maybe a low carb version?"Products with names such as Milk & Honey, Breakfast Biscuits and Chocolate Olivers are still fondly remembered by consumers, usually admittedly those over 40 years of age, who continue to ask for their reintroduction."

You are definitely a bad influence @Lesleywo.

Haha I hear you ... funny how when talking about the 'olden days' we automatically think of food, isn't it? Well .. I do anywayOk where's the report button on here
We have an English lolly shop in our local town . so many memories of my childhood. Someone mentioned Parma Violets .. I used to love them. But Caramac and Milky Bar was my favourite chocolate. I liked the Caramac when it came in the big block (of course!) and was wrapped in gold paper with a black and red wrapping. Somehow tasted better in those days. And you got more for your money! Blimey, no wonder weve all got blood sugar problems!

That's a strange coincidence, as the last couple of days each time I have looked at the TV someone has been sucking a lolly and I have had a craving for those too. Lucky I don't live in your town Lesley 'and I mean that most sincerely folks'. Oh crikey, now who used to say that? I can hear it as clear as a bell in my head but can't put a face to it. Lucky this is a thread for we older (cough cough) folk, hopefully someone will know.Haha I hear you ... funny how when talking about the 'olden days' we automatically think of food, isn't it? Well ..
