70's sweets who remembers these?

[Seedy_r0m]

for those ones that dont know what Carluke steak is
its jam R&w Scott jamakers

Not that it means much to the vast majority of folks in here, but R&W Scott were a great source of income for us lads back in the day.
I can remember a team of us being picked up in a ramshackle wooden flat-bed trailer at Pickerings Corner (towed by a Tractor) trundling up the road past Overtown and onto Carluke to pick the Rasp's & Strawb's for Mr & Mrs Scott and all their offspring to make preserves.

We had to make money to buy Buckie somehow. It was either that, tattie howkin' at Barrs farm, or working on a market stall at Wishae market.

Never mind the 70's, I can still remember the 50's with MB Bars, Hard Black Liquorice, Penny dainties, and Duncans Walnut whips. Yummmy, anyone got a spare Farthing? or even a silver Threepenny bit?

Golden Cup and Cabbana were my favourites as a kid.

The best ever multipack bar was a United (in Leeds colours)
They ditched them and along came second rate ones such as Breakaway and Waggon Wheels?
