These seem to be similar both in background story and in general appearance to the French Bêtise de Cambrai. Are they the same? --Iustinus 03:51, 14 July 2005 (UTC) |

They do seem remarkably similar, but I have no idea if one or the other inspired the other. What do Bêtises de Cambrai look like? Peregrine981 04:33, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

See the picture on this page. I guess now that I look at them they certanly aren't liquorice allsorts, but the similarity of their appearence is striking, isn't it? --Iustinus 05:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recent additions

The recent big batch of additions to this article have a number of problems:

• POV statements - "Here's where liquorice gets hardcore" ;"These eight or nine ingredients add up to make the perfect bag of allsorts."
• Out of focus images
• The names of the individual pieces - I'd like to see a verifiable reference. These seem made up to me - especially since this product is made by many different companies.

I'll leave it as it is for now to allow the contributor a chance to tweak. ike9898 19:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Left it for a week and no improvements. In my opinion this stuff was mostly made up information and thus unsalvagable, so I've dropped it. ike9898 21:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The reference to "spogs" was 100% verifiable (I even included a link to a manufacturer's page which named them) and the word "spog" meaning this type of sweet is well-known to many Britons. Surely at least this could be retained! Simon Beck

[edit] Bertie Bassett

How about a picture of Bertie, if anyone has one?--StarChaser Tyger 02:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

That, in my opinion, would not come into Fair Use. We don't need one, and as it is copyrighted, we can only get it under Fair Use. If it is unrequired, we can't FU it. microchip08 (talk) 10:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
