Favourite Sweetie...

Post by Tusker » Mon Feb 27, 2006 6:50 pm

Ohhhhhh, David -- I think we'll certainly meet when we kick the bucket. You'll be ending up going to the same place as me, where they don't have harps and wings and chocolate bars. I'm drooling all over my keyboard at the moment, and if it short-circuits, I may even get there before you!....... :D

Well … I just LOVED Lucky Tatties :D . And they are still going. A relative of mine had a sweetie shop until recently and you could buy many of the old favourites there. They don’t taste the same to me though, and I’m sure it’s not just down to my jaded palate :roll: . My real favourite was (and still is) vanilla fudge ….. just love it ….. yum!

David,

I got the names from a poster I have. It does show The Boys but it's too big to fit in my scanner.

That's just like the cover of the 1948 "Oor Wullie" book :D
Sixteen faces of Wullie including "Jubilation", "Botheration", "Flirtation" and "Pride of the Nation".

Any chance of you getting us Oor Wullie Emoticons for the site? :D

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I gather from that that the answer is "No".

Oh well, I did try.

Ina, you must have been a very honest wee girl if you were sent every week! I think my Mum would have sent me just the once [-X ... and she'd never have sent our Chris because she ALWAYS lost the money on the way to the shop :roll: At least she's still stickin' to that :roll:
