I like a bit of liquorice, especially Pontefract cakes (Pontefract is only 2 miles or so from where I live, so you can easily get them around here)

Must admit to sneaking a bag of liquorice allsorts into my shopping basket the other week, I love them all apart from the solid black ones and the strange pink/blue jelly ones. Yummy.

Makes you wonder which retro sweets our heroes would have enjoyed, back in the '70s:
Bev probably took charge of the liquorice sticks. Richard would have been addicted to sweet cigarettes. Given Kelly's hairstyle in those days, a fizzy cola comes to mind. By all accounts, Mel would have relished a Dolly Mixture. Hugh would have gone for the Beer Bottle sweets. Shy Mik would have felt an affinity with White Mice. And Producer Jeff would have insisted on Pick and Mix.
But at show time, they'd all have headed for a Flying Saucer.
