I miss those marshallow and "jam" biccies - used to get two of them in my school packed lunches during the 1980s :)

I understand they're still available in Ireland but are called Mikados there.

    I used to get a Jelly Mallow in mine, and a street map of London.

    Wot no Turkey Mile? We had a shop near us that used to brake biscuits for you if you could`nt afford whole ones, I don`t think that the manager knew.

    i didn't get a packed lunch on christmas day, it was school not prison. :D

    so where was the money saving in that, that just sounds really tight. like a sarnie shop giving you a discount by spitting on your butty

    I think you mean Kimberly. Mikados are very different, but from the same product range.

    They're very delicious though. :)

    My gran used to scoff those things all the time, she loved them. She's been dead since 2000 but you could still get em' that year.

    I used to see em' out and about, not long before I left England too. I've been out of the country for almost 2 years now, but you must be able to get em' somewhere still?
    Every night is curry night!
