What a fantastic thread! I have just spent a very enjoyable couple of hours reading through it, listening to the Life On Mars soundtrack. Thank you for some great memories. Some of those photos gave me physical pangs of nostalgia - the Rupert Bear orange candy bar, Magic Roundabout foil covered chocolate bars and Robin Hood Bars are probably my earliest sweet memories, and I had forgotten all about them until now. I also remember Cadburys Buttons easter eggs when the buttons were inside the egg in a brown cellophane packet and chocolate tools, bunnies and kittens for Christmas, along with sweet shops and selection packs in the shape of a stocking. As a slightly older child I thought the Dairy Milk Tray bar was the fanciest chocolate bar in the world, and loved Frys 5 centres (although it was impossible to separate the sections properly and the flavours 'bled' into each other). I also liked the bar with layers of milk, dark and white chocolate and used to bite it sideways to separate the the layers before letting it melt in my mouth. The Weekend box of sweets looked so pretty although I didn't like most of the flavours. Oh, and bring back the Banjo...have signed the petition, thought I was the only one who missed them
