Huge multilayered sweets. Well huge for the mouth of a small child anyway. These changed colour with each layer encouraging the kids to be constantly removing them from their mouths - with filthy hands of course - just so they could see how far they've got. How we didn't get dysentry repeatedly is anyones guess! (ed: not to mention constant wallopings from our mothers for drooling over our clothes! By the way, who remembers Jawbreakers?)

(entered pretty much verbatim) You have to emphasize the 'bout' of 'about' in this sentence. It is said with a heavily sarcastic tone, and its meaning is very difficult to explain since there is absolutely no equivalent in standard English. It means something like 'Shame on (you)', or 'That's (their) loss!'. Say for example I make an effort to apply to do a course, and they turn me down but don't explain why. I go and complain to my mum. She says 'Huh, pity about them!'. Or say my friend Johnny has some nice sweets. I say 'How Johnny man giz a sweetie, he says 'Na! Gaan n get yarown man!', I say 'Pity about ye!'.

These were enormous gobstoppers with different coloured (and flavoured) layers. We all flirted daily with the real danger of horrible suffocation from these huge sweets - these days there'd be a pressure group lobbying Parliament. Great excitement was caused by the advent of the 'red hot' jawbreaker (which caused mild chemical burns to the roof of your mouth). (ed: remember them well - magic flavours - and while they were 'the' thing to have they were always in desperately short supply in the shops. When they came in, whichever shop had them was beseiged and always sold out in hours!).
A term for sweets or candy. e.g. "Can I have some SPICE please mam?" , I used this term in school around Sheffield in the late 70's/ early 80's, and it seems to be still in use.(term may have spread out into Yorkshire).
(1) a very stupid person, i.e. "You're a right spangle!" (2) a "square tube" of sweets in various flavours. (ed: Liquorice was best, and Old English - they were best too!)
