“Usually, we went to Gran’s only on a Sunday, after lunch. She’d always have a few boiled sweets on display in a bowl and I’d always have one, sometimes even two. King’s of Wishaw sweets. The local sweet maker. Anything sweet, we had a local maker. Barr’s, with their Irn Bru. Tunnock’s, with their teacakes. The west of Scotland, Lanarkshire particularly, is a Mecca for sugar cultists.”
