At Dennis Rd school we had our own sweet shop and I was in charge of it, had the keys to the stock cupboard. In the break the favourite buy was "Wagon Wheels" and chocolate hazelnut bars. It was only naturel that I had to do the taste test on some of the products that I was selling
.
In Taunton Rd. there was a sweet shop where they sold lollipops with, if you were lucky, sixpenny bits hidden inside them. I was lucky many times, or was it just because the shop keeper felt sorry for me and always gave me one with the sixpence in it, I'll never know.
