Remember those ice pops and lolly pops that if you got a certain number on them you would get another one free? I always wonder if it was just a local myth that the shop staff honoured.
I loved going to that shop and getting sweets, Jaw Berries being my favourite. Ten penny bags also a hit. There was one girl that worked in there that would always give you extra jellies, once I gave her a pound and asked for a hundred penny jellies and I got 150. But her colleague was a scab and counted them exactly. I always remembered the generous one being pretty and friendly. But about 6 years ago I was back at the shop and she was still there, wrecked. Face all fucked up and old, posture bad, teeth ropey, menopause kicking in.
But I gave her a big smile and said thanks. And I meant it. She made me and hundreds of other kids in the estate happy.

Tordelback, get back to the 2000AD forum now!
I saw that camera trick in the A-Team a few years ago.
I don’t think they used it to steal diamonds, I think it had something to do with industrial espionage.
There’s a shop around the corner from me run by an aul lad and his wife where the handfuls of jellies still freely flow for pennies.
The shop itself smells of sadness and coming death,so no one buys anything other than jellies before fucking off as soon as possible.
Oh and Bob,I was in the poundshop on Thomas Street today and noticed a serious lack of good fake toys.The only two gems I saw were the pandas in the Kill Bill suit and little vikings on the backs of giant polar bears and elephants for some reason.Apart from that,not even a sniff of a wrestler with a spiderman head.GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER,CHINESE KIDS!
Are things as bad in Spain,Bob Duffy?
Yeah Oscar I’ve seen it in a few other things too. It blew my mind though.
All good Luke, balls deep in a few new hooers, big party last night for the World Cup. Mental stuff. They know how to do it. Fuck Dublin
