I am craving liquorice at the mo Shocked
And, no, I am not up the duff Laughing

So, back to seriousness... if I don't get some RED liquorice asap I think I may faint Shocked

I found black liq twists and wonderful liq catherine wheels in Tesco today.. but no glorious RED stuff

Anyone know where I can find some of this stuff apart from on the net ?
Like a 'normal shop' I can go to
(I am in west midlands)

The red kind is sometimes referred to as 'Strawberry Whips'

Thanks in advance

JO xxx

(OH... and 'Spogs' !! Anyone know who sells these)??
God they are cool Mr. Green

Maybe showing my age now, but after reading thru this thread I seem to have an unexplained urge for some Spangles, and some Pacers.
Haven't seen either of them for years

Hi,

Try a woolworths or a spar shop for the red liquorice. My Mum had a sweet and flower shop when I was a kid. We had 100 different pence sweets arround 100 different quater sweets + the odd as sods like space dust and sour tulips and bars of stuff.

I liked goldfish,caterpillers, shrimps and coconut mushrooms. I always hated mo-jos, rice paper, flying saucers and coal dust.

Regards
Charlotte

edit worst sweets ever - parma violets Sick
