Modern Vs have had all the good stuff removed, unfortunately . Do you remember Imps Richard, they used to absolutely blow your head off, and they were about the size of a grain of rice….

Omg yes Tim.I used to whack a load in my mouth and wondered why my blood pressure was up!!.Love liquorice but not good for Hypertension.Can still get Nippits from Mr Symms sweetshops but not as good as Imps!!.

Talking of cigarette cards or the cards from Tetley tea, who remembers playing "fag cards"? Standing them against a wall and taking turns to attempt to flick another card to knock them down. Player who got the last card picked up all the cards that had been flicked.

Wonder how many posh ladies know that - and how many would continue to wear them if they found out?

We used to play something a bit similar John. In our version we used to flick gum cards at the wall from about ten foot away, and the one that got closest to the wall won the cards. A bit like marbles, but with cards. Not as easy as it sounds……
