Rather than get into pointless debate over the best (it was a Cabana bar, any other suggestions are not worthy of consideration) What were the minty opal fruits called? I am sure they were white with a green stripe.

Yep, definitely Pacers.

Not a patch on a Fruit Salad, mind you.

Blacks Jackets were better, plus they had the added bonus of being outrageously unPC

What were "Fangles" btw, were they like Spangles only spelt different ?

Im my day, Black Jacks and Fruit Salads were 8 to an old penny, we could buy 240 for the equivelent of 10p today -(in my day that was 2 shilling or twenty four old pennies)

Cue Hovis music for neverfastenough.
Black Jacks weren't around in your day you old bugger.
Wed night...? Get them lights charged.
Off up to Derbyshire on Sat if you fancy it.
