Oh eff off with your inane witterings. Too busy to retweet TK & MR? ARE. You. Bollocks.

Fruit salads and chew-its? You don’t eat sugar, remember? And certainly not when you’re having “dental” “treatment”.

Hope the blackjacks pull your new veneers off, you tedious, self-satisfied imbecile.

I’m 45. When I was in primary I can just about remember a local shop having some sweets for half penny. But mostly they were 1p, this was in the mid 80s.
When did she actually start going to shops to buy sweets, mid 90s. Why is everything a lie?

Rest your mind.

Watch Below Deck. You will soon forget Jack exists and be more concerned with Captain Lee and the antics of the charter guests.

yeah exactly, I am her age (maybe even a couple of years older) and there was NO such thing as penny sweets then, I remember fruit salads being about 5p when I was a child

Ah, yes. Blackjacks. Possibly the most racist sweet in the history of colonial confectionery.

Still sold with a similar wrapping when Jack was a child. So no excuse of 'IT'S JUST A SWEET THAT HAS A NAME THAT RHYMES WITH THE COLOUR'.

A friend's son worked for him as a chef. He's apparently very good to his staff and also makes a big fuss of their families if they eat in one of his restaurants!

I've been lucky enough to eat in The Kitchin several times now ( try to go when we visit Edinburgh annually)
When it was our student daughter's 21st birthday I told the maitre'd beforehand and there was a birthday cake and card signed by Tom waiting for her when we arrived ....we also got chance to meet him in the kitchen ,( and get photos taken with him), during a very busy service - he was so lovely and no airs or graces...and oh my god the food was incredible!
