Well bugger me backwards!
I haven't seen a pick n' mix since the halcyon days of ...Woolworths.

I give it two weeks, Gonz, then BAM!


Oh yeah.

Right. I need MORE fat b3tans.

Still would.

( girlinthehole, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 14:58, Reply)

what is this fat b3tan nonsense
are you just collecting pictures of fat b3tans to wank over or something?
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 14:58, Reply)

Pretty much, yeah.
I'd glaze 'em like a Krispy Kreme.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:05, Reply)

sweet
but seriously, are you really collecting pictures of fat b3tans?
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:13, Reply)

Beats working.
Although I should perhaps clarify - it's pictures of fat people who look like b3tans. Only fat. B3tans who are already fat need not apply.

ME! I'm a right chubby.

A dog once chased me because I'm such a fat fuck.
He bit my ankle and chocolate cream came out.

where's the picture of you sleeping outside the store?

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 14:59, Reply)

It's raining, if it drys up before it opens, I'll do another one.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:04, Reply)

I think a picture of you sleeping in the rain would get you more sympathy when you write to them to tell them how you waited so long
and dreamed of finally getting a taste of sweetness only to be disappointed by whatever reason you think of next

Purple-link, I used to get quite a few bits from there, it would last months for just £10 worth of stuff.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:05, Reply)

So this old sweet shop
That opening will give you chance to eye-ball your purchases before you get them?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:07, Reply)

And get a random mix-up for a lovely surprise.

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:51, Reply)

I have two old fashioned sweet shops
no more than a 10 minute walk from my house.

To start with we had Mr Brown's, then Mr Simm's opened just round the corner.
I go to Mr Brown's as it is owned by a Mr Brown and is not a franchise like Mr Simm's stores are.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:44, Reply)

my great uncle
used to own a sweet shop called Mr Brown's.

That was his name too, unsurprisingly.

Great thing to have in the family - plenty of free goodies whenever you visit (which was maybe once a year in our case).
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:48, Reply)

Oooh oooh is it a Mr Simms?
I bet it is, they're popping up everywhere! Woooo!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:50, Reply)

Mr. Simms is the McDonalds of the sweetie world, apparently.
I much prefer smaller, independent sweetie shops where the owners are knowledgeable about sweets, and can give you sweetie advice.
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:54, Reply)

Ah I see
Oh well, I'm happy to have sweet shops of any sort popping up around the place. Saves me ordering masses online! :D

Wooooo sweeties!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:55, Reply)

i wish i could have
even one sweet shop near me.

The closest one closed down over a year ago, and the others I know are all in subway stations, and even more extortionate.

If only delivery from aquarterof wasn't so damned expensive here.
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Tue 16 Feb 2010, 15:59, Reply)

Awww that’s annoying it costs you a lot in delivery costs from aquarterof.
I guess there must be other online sweet shops out there to buy from… you’ll have to do some sleuthing and see what you can find.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 16 Feb 2010, 16:07, Reply)

There's a sweet shop at the college I go to on day release called "Treats"
It sells all the old fashioned sweets out of pig tubs in paper bags. Cola Cubes FTW! Also gotta love the fruit dragees

Mmmm... flying saucers
like eating paper with citric acid chrystals inside, but somehow strangely morish :s

Did you know you can buy flying saucers, foam bananas and pink shrimps
in Julian Graves of all places.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Tue 16 Feb 2010, 16:20, Reply)

Being rather a connoisseur of pick n mix
I would like to remind you all that pick n mix sweeties can also be bought in Wilkinsons and are provided by the same people that used to do them for Woolies. And for 10p less a 100g than they used to be in Woolies too.

Public Service announcement ends.

there has been a lack of anti Bowie vitriol on here today, although there was a funny Bono cartoon.
