How is Clevedon School these days?

How is Clevedon School these days?

I've actually left school :icon_lol: ...They're doing a lot of building work, there now, extending out on the playing fields. It's looking a bit different, these days. Probably wouldn't recognise it.

Funnily enough, I bought a packet of of opal fruits (starburst :cwm23:) on impulse, a few weeks ago. Not a patch on the old flavours :NoNo: & no yellow ones...Can you believe it!

See, you're getting a bit nostalgic for Clevedon there Rob...Was lovely down at the seafront the other day, in the sunshine...Went on the pier, then had an ice cream. :)...It's all good!

Was it:-

1. Salt and vinegar.
2. Smokey bacon
3. Dried fish and balut
4. Cheese and onion

ooh I'd forgotten those! (even though) they were my favourites. Were they liquorice or aniseed? (or both?!)
Sherbert pips were great too.

And yes, Al, Lucky Bags, I got one every Saturday evening when my dad went to pay for the papers we'd had delivered. They always had those rock hard, pastel coloured sweets in them - didn't like those :NoNo:
