Just grateful at this stage that I haven't owned a mobile phone for years, them, computer games and fun are the bane of my life.

Happy Birthday lads, I'm not a nonce.

I think we all realise now he's not even an old man, we've been trolled terribly over the years.

Perfumed sweet, foul stuff and I hate it. That's my take on it anyway.

Rumour has it that it was very popular around the BBC and in Crewe in the 70s and 80s.

Make of that what you will

I've made it myself, flavoured with vanilla and with chopped Brazil nuts - very nice in small doses.

Hope you didn't put too much 'flour' on it.

I'm sure he meant the cornflour which is used in the recipe , or not.

No mate. He meant the icing sugar. An easy mistake for a simpleton.

I've always hated it personally, but I had some of the proper stuff in Turkey. I'd just boarded the bus on a scorching hot day after a visit to Ephesus, and some guy offered me a paper bag with some sugared jellies in it. Said it was real Turkish delight.

And it was. An absolute delight. I'd been chucking bottles of water down my throat it was so hot, but this delicacy was just so thirst quenching it was unreal.

I still hate the chocolate covered version you get in this country though.

Rose flavoured gelatine.

I haven’t got a sweet tooth but I like this.

M&S do some sugary covered stuff without the chocolate... its lovely
