HOW much?

I've just seen the mother of the raggy family from Coronation Street having a go at the lass who works in the newsagent (not Rita Fairclough... the young dark haired one who lives with the Platts)... and then when she was finished her piece, ordered a Curly Wurly.

Would someone like to tell me when Curly Wurlies starting being sold at a price of 40 English pence?

The last time I bought a single one I think I paid 12p. Now there's a good chance I was the same number of years old as the number of pence I paid, but still.

I'll be thinking twice before the multi-pack of those little beggars go in the trolley on the next weekly once around Morrisons.

You see friends, it's small changes and realisations like this which can lessen the effect of the credit crunch... ooh crunchies.... now they must still be reasonably priced. I mean how pricey can honeycomb be?
