Lekkers

[Michael Alexander]

You gotta read a few comics while you eat them, Dandy, Beano or Beezer, else they just don't taste the same....

what is an animal bar ?

[Rhona]

Hiya Barb, an animal bar is a kids chocolate bar made by nestle which has the imprint of various animals on it. I first tasted them in O'mund as on a regular basis the Alexanders used to get them in the post from their relations in Scotland along with comic books................Luckily enough there were 6 of these bars in a packet and my family grew up with Mikes, so lucky us, we always got an animal bar whenever they arrived.

I can now confess a very bad habit...or addiction of mine regarding sweets.......eating paper.........600 sheets in a box....on average i have eaten a box a day for at least 15 years........ some times i would run out.....or the suppliers would run out and i would crave for it like mad........everyone knows me for the eating paper....im also very mean with it ....dont like anyone asking for any .....however......i can now say i am cured.......i have 1 box in a secret place for if i get the craving back but i have been cured for about a month now.......it has travelled with me all over the world.....first thing i would pack in my case would be a weeks supply of the stuff............and at £4 per box..it was as expensive as smoking.....

oh well......just thought id share that with you all .......cause it is a BIG thing to me that i have now stopped eating it......
Also used to have our own sweet business a few years ago selling every old fashioned sweet you can think of and still go to the ware houses regular....so if anyone has a real craving for any english sweets from the past ....let me know.......ill see if i can get it.

Talking of lekker.........I'm just settling down to 'The life of Brian'.........now that is one lekker film!!!

And low on calories... hihihi

That's brave of you to tell us that story Bev. Never heard anything of the kind. Let alone the thought of having to eat the stuff myself. My kids always liked it. When I watched my kids eating paper I always got a dry mouth.  :36_2_24:
