Mars bars were a tanner and the size of a house brick when Fruit Salads and Black Jacks were 4 a penny.
You probably wouldn't be able to call them Black Jacks these days, I will

Cleggy, they might not like it, but you call them as they are...

As for you Sir Tig... I'll have you know I am still 37

Went the way of 'nigger brown', Mr Cleggy.

Stop pretending you are younger than me Cleggy!

In the 1958 you got 4 of those to a farthing, 16 to the 1d, so you must remember that!

No Lizzie, I can only remember them at four a penny, although I only came across them in the Tuck Shop at grammar school and a bag of nuts and raisins were sixpence. That was 1963.
I do remember using farthings though, withdrawn in 1960.

I used to buy penny bubbies with black and white pictures of the Beatles to collect, the Rolling Stones were in colour at junior school, wish I'd kept them.

A Jubbly was 4d in 1969, I was working by then.

Are you sure, Lizzie?. I know that you're talking about 1958......but 16 to the penny.

Yes in 1958, certainly up to 1960, I used to get 8 to the 1/2d, and when I (unofficially) joined the confectionery trade in 1965 we were counting out 8 to the 1d.  So the price was climbing, but the size stayed the same until about 1972 and then, like some other popular products reduced in size after RPM was abolished and supermarkets could use products in price promotions. Boy, did the trade change after that!!

Only the boys, you get more.

Surely that'd depend on how big the girl is?
