What was your favourite sweetie? My favourite sweetie were Crunchies, Rainbow Drops, Whispa Bars, Salt and Vinegar Crisps all crushed up and vinegar added, Spangles, Cola Cubes, Sherbet Lemons and a cake of chocolate that had dark chocolate sandwiched between two layers of milk chocolate. Webmaster	I have noticed that one of our members has posted a discussion about their favourite sweet. Well actually they want to bring back the liquorice tasting black sports mixture sweetie rather than the flavour that is now. This brought back memories for me of whopper bars, long liquorice laces and MB bars. I recently found a shop that supplied these, although they weren't as big as I remember them. Would you like to join our member in her campaign to resurrect the black sports mixture or was it the worst tasting sweet ever, or do you have memories of the best tasting sweets. Why not join in the discussion on the discussion on the guidlife ?	the guidlife website

What is a Caper? Read more comments about what capers are, and are not, by clicking here.	Ref. your query as to what a caper is. I work in the kitchens at the Avonbridge where you held your meeting. We have a rather large jar of them there, The caper is in fact a flower bud. In that respect it may be classed as a fruit. They are normally bought pickled and can be used in sauces but I like a small sprinkling of them in a mixed salad.	Allano
