      And jubbly in the summer. But you might not know what they are unless you grew up in the midlands.

            And you think the ban hammer should fall swiftly and decisively but we seem to have this cycle where we put up with it to a point and then ban it but he knows he is pandered to in the early days so will just do it again? Why not strike early, cut the snakes head off and not give him the reason to just come back again. Seems ridiculous to me. He'll 100% get banned at some point so why not do it early. No one wants him here so what pander to him?

                I've still got a toffee hammer somewhere.

                We had Jubblys down here in Wales too.

                And TipTops.

                From the ark: Five Boys chocolate bar.

                Fry's mini eggs, same size as the Cadbury creme ones, but split into two & filled with marzipan or coconut ice or something similar.

                There's a couple of packets of ancient* jelly I could make up and a tin of equally ancient *evap that would go with it just fine.

                *pre 2014 at a guess, having inherited them.

                      Proper trifles, and Eton mess with genuine merangue not the synthetic crunchy stuff which feels and tastes like powdery dried polyfiller!
