I am SO glad I wasn't eating anything while reading this, Jan. lol So I get that you were allowed to use only 5-letter words. What I don't get is that you have candy called fruit salad and black jacks? What are they?

Jan Allison
Date: 2/20/2018 5:11:00 PM

They are chewy sweets fruit salad are fruity, black jacks are aniseed.... I still buy them lol:-)

Wow, that's taken me back, black jacks and fruit salad's, after a feast on black jacks you'd have a black tongue lol

I'll confess there is a little truth in this tale... my parents ran a shop... We weren't allowed sweets. I was about 3.. I took some black jacks and fruit salad They were sold lose 8 for 1 penny back then... and I climbed under the dining room table and ate them ... what gave me away was leaving the wrappers... my mum looked at me and I burst into tears (wasn't sick) I still adore those sweets along with real lion's midget gems :-) hugs Jan xx
