[Theodoric]

I can think of a few old fashioned sweet shops. There's one in Lincoln halfway up Steep Hill. There's one in Whitby and we once found one somewhere on the the Isle of Wight (although we never found the shopkeeper; it was the confectionery version of the Mary Celeste). I think we could do with more old fashioned sweet shops on our high streets but I suppose that they wouldn't make enough money to compete with the banks, building societies and charity shops.
