    God, but we ate so much sugar back in the day, didn't we? Orange squash, biscuits, cereal, sweets. And I was as thin as a rake as a kid, believe it or not.

    Of course, this may explain why I barely have a fully-functioning tooth in my head, but there we are.

    It seemed entirely normal to have three sugars in your tea. No one batted an eyelid. I suppose for the generation who lived through rationing, the sudden availability of sugar must have sent them into a frenzy...

    I basically survived on sugar sandwiches

    I think we've always been mad for it, tbh. The war was just a brief hiatus in our love for the stuff. I suppose it being the foundation stone of our bluewater empire probably helped in this regard.

    My day used to have about five. Or six if he thought no-one was looking. That fact that the tea was at sucrose saturation level and no more would desolve was no deterrent.

    From my youth in England I seem to recall something called 'Brighton Rock' or somesuch?

    It was an enormous cylinder of rock hard sugar that required you to break it into pieces and then suck on it. As I recall, it tasted of nothing but sugar.

    Even as a child I struggled to understand the attraction.

    Just rock - although I guess if you bought it in Brighton it would be Brighton rock. Most seaside places would have it. My Great Uncle Jimmy had a sweet factory in Cork, where we used to go every summer and watch all the goodies being made. The raw goo that became rock was basically like crack
