Glad i'm not on me own then

I was also thinking about those little packets of crackers and cheese you'd get in the pubs, the ones next to the jungle fresh and Big D nut's but i'm going slighty OT

I read somehwere that Opal Fruits are making a comeback for a limited period. Ten years ago their name was dropped in favour of Starburst. Can we have Marathon back?
