We’re taking a wee trip down memory lane this week. Jogging the memory. Though some of the picture’s aren’t Blantyre, I’m keen on hearing your memories put into a local context.First up who remembers the old sweetie shops, with MASSIVE bars of chocolate, great selections and when tins of sweets were literally that, huge tins! What was your favourite?

I loved soor plooms and the way the jars were lined up on the shelves.
