Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I remember the coconut 'tobacco' that we ate as kids and the packets of sweet ciggies! Ah, the Good Old Days 🤔🙂

I’d forgotten about the ‘tobacco’. Used to get it from the sweet shop just down from school. Texan bars and Amazin Raisin bars were favourites.

Google suggests that v'raps stroodles had the advertising strapline "oodles of stroodles" and appear to have been a bit like chocolate raisins, only with bits of apple, and in apple shaped packaging.

I went to school with a lad called Paul Smith (no, not that one), his party trick was rolling a Texan bar up and eating it in one mouth full.
