Oh. No...Well, imagine this. A hooker with a blog. <br /><br />Oh. Not that kind of hooker. AH, I see; a family-rated blog. Right! (Bear changes context in his head.)<br /><br />Well, it takes all sorts, does't it? And I still enjoy all sorts of Allsorts— the liquorice kind. The British ones are the best, I think. <br /><br />Glad to have discovered your sweet blog.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839575896417104888.post-63800543414356967502012-04-02T05:02:58.767-07:002012-04-02T05:02:58.767-07:00All Sorts for A is a great post.

I was that child!!!<br /><br />Haven't had them in ages - used to trade the jelly ones (with 'hundreds and thousands' all over them) with my brother in exchange for the multi-layered fondant and liquorice bricks (for the above reason).<br /><br />Really fancy one, now ;-/SueHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394307650434614637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839575896417104888.post-75324261438834532172012-04-01T09:55:46.252-07:002012-04-01T09:55:46.252-07:00Oh yes, I love those licorice allsorts.
