Its no crime to admit, even to yourself that you're just not old or smart enough to know.

I believe that when George Bassett first came to Sheffield, his premises were located on Broad Street (now where Park Square Roundabout is).

Arh Cadbury Trebor I use to work O-Pee-Chee bubble gum,running flat out up& down stairs fixing anything in sight and thin as a rake,after 20yrs moved to candy plant ,put on 60lbs in 3 months ,who can walk past those nutty candys without taking a handfull(100 times a day).

For anyone interested, George Basset's grave is visible in the General Cemetery off Cemetery Road in Sharrow. He did not invent liquorice allsorts though, it was one of his employees in the late 19th/early 20th century
