Why were you banned from eating hard boiled sweets?
My mother was always worried I'd choke to death on a peanut and was very concerned about me eating them as there was once a story in a newspaper about someone who had choked to death on a packet of KP.

Mummy didn't want me choking!
I was allowed lollipops as a rare treat.

How wonderfully cautious.
I'll bet she'd have had kittens if she'd have seen you walking about with a lolly in your mouth.

Wouldn't have happened.
My aunty gave me a boiled sweet when I was nine, and I went and choked on the fucking thing, reinforcing all my mother's fears.
Game over.

No chocolate limes for you! (Not that they are very nice), but to grow up without the sherbet lemon... How awful.

I went mental when I went to secondary school.
Old-fashioned sweetshop at the foot of the hill.
Oooh, cough candy twists!

So whilst most of your classmates were starting to smoke or dabbling in weed
You were getting your kicks from Pineapple Rock and Kola Kubes.

Result!

My other aunty let me have Kola Kubes now and again.
Delish.

Surely you were allowed Everton mints as a child!

At friends' houses and that.
And I could have rock, but I couldn't break bits off

Phew
I was about to phone Childline on your behalf.

I was always threatening that

Likewise.
It had to be done.

Pear drops are where it's at

Pear drops give me a sore throat.
They're fumey.
