Chocolate Tools, the Saw was always the biggest. These were bought out by Cadburys years ago and they stopped making the inferior chocolate.

They were 2p each.

I'm going to show my age now, but my Granddad used to come for tea every Thursday evening and give me and my brother a shilling (5p). I used to go straight to the shops and buy a caramel bar (Caramac!) and a bag of Bovril crisps. 2 and a half pence each they were!! Bliss.

A quarter would always be treacle toffee (sometimes with blackcurrant but I can't remember what they were called). Made by Callard and Bowsers.

Very happy memories.
