Think the sweets were called Lemfizz but there were in Orange and Lime as well as Lemon. I think they did liver salts and the like too.

This kids story sounds worrying:D

I was one of the telephone engineers that used to look after the phones and phone lines at Carter Bond back in the late 70's and early 80's. I remember the lady on reception, who I think was Polish or German? and I remember that people didn't like going up in to the big roof space, where they stored the cardboard boxes (flat packed), because of rumours that it was haunted (I have a good story about that!), the smell of the sweets was nice at first, but after an hour or so of being there it got over powering.

 

Good memories though!
