The French cafe down the road sells Carambars! I am unreasonably excited by this!

Having typed that, I suddenly want a Curly Wurly. The shop across the road has them! HURRAH for multiculturalism! (I accept that this is feeble multiculturalism, but I did just have dinner at the Turkish place and respond to a web survey from the Japanese bar, so it's better than my sweet selections make it sound!)

No, it's more of a chewing sweet, sort of like a mini Highland Toffee, but in different flavours … I'm having a total mental blank on the British equivalent (Brain of sago!), I can't remember if Milkos and Redskins are Aus only– I think they are. They're the sort of thing you're given as a treat when you're little, and I was, so I had a fit of happy nostalgia and bought myself two for being brave about my thumb. Then gave one to Mr B, which means I also deserved my Curly Wurly ;-)

I really have to find a source of caramacs here now that you've reminded me.
