    Mixed Sweets

    Share

    The marvel of the vast banks of penny sweets under the glass counter at the local sweet shop/tobacconist – or high on the shelves behind the shopkeeper.

    The little white paper bag and the decision of whether to allow the shopkeeper to choose your sweets or to pick your own ‘custom’ mix.

    “I’ll have one of those . . . two of those . . . no . . . er . . . one of those . . . three of those . . . no, put one back . . .”
