I reckon possibly They came in green tubes, were green dependent on flavour, and they were soft so that you chewed them rather than sucked. They had a crunchy shell.

I found them very moreish, so I had regular experiences of "Oh look, I've eaten them all. Now I'm going to sh*t for a fortnight".

I stopped eating them when I started driving for a living.

The green ones were the best... very moreish.  The "Extra Strong Mints" were my favourite, especially when I was a paperboy (I wasn't made of paper...).

Richard does have a point.

We were supposed to be staying in Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire for 7 nights at one of the National Trust lodges, but when we arrived yesterday there were a few  ants running around in the kitchen.  This morning there were loads of them.  Normal  ants we can handle.  Then this afternoon, it was like a swarm of flying ants.

Have you noticed, every time I try to write the word ant... I get  ).

We had to drive a couple of miles to get a signal so we could phone for someone from the National Trust to come and have a look.

Someone came out straight away and we were told we couldn't stay anymore because of the infestation of the flying  ants.

We asked if anywhere else nearby was free.  Nope!  But the big cottage at Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire was available for our other 6 nights.

We stayed there last November, wow!  So we are here now... with a signal... with free WiFi... with Tracey... what more can I want!

What I was originally going to say about the  ants was 'we had lots of 'nunkles' all over the place!  What is a 'nunkle' you ask yourself... it's the wife of an uncle!

Who said I was going crazy!

Have a great time both of you 

best wishes

Steve - You need some professional help - you remember those "nice young men in their clean white coats"  . (Song Here.)

Enjoy the rest of your holiday and give Tracey a hug. xx

Kind Regards - Brian.

We had proper rain today in Sherwood Forest, soaked to the skin, but it wasn't cold!

I've dodged those

It’s been pissing down today too . Hopefully the weather perks up for you both. Or you can just do a pub crawl trying out the different brews
