00:07from Black Country Museum I'd say but that's probably the only place they're just quite nice
00:10but they're hard so you don't see them very often these days. Well I was always a lover of love arts
00:16I presume they're still around and you used to have like these local shops where I've been to
00:24Wells and I've seen some of these local sweet shops and they seem to be missing like in Birmingham
00:31so we need to bring back some of the traditional kind of stuff like the milky bar and that kind
00:36of stuff I think. Oh my god well I don't know what they're called but they're like fizzy cubes.
