Not quarters, but fruit toffos and spangles.

Spangles

D'you remember the 'Old English' ones?

EV

Yeah, but what did they taste of?

One was liquorice flavoured, the rest were just, well, sort of odd.
They were black, orange, yellow'y colours I think ...

I used to LOVE old English spangles.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spangles I liked the yellow ones...but I'm pretty sure they weren't butterscotch, because we used to by Callard and Bowser(?) sweeties that came individually wrapped in a small paper 'box' and they had liquorish toffee and butterscotch (and a nougat) Kate

Don't mention nougat, foul, foul stuff.
It's a psychological thing for me, the day after the first time I ever tried nougat (I was 11yrs old and it was Boxing Day), I was rushed into hospital for an emergency whipping out of my appendix!

I can't stand the stuff to this day.
