I am working in Saudi Arabia and someone brought some Scots Clan toffees into the office which reminded me so much of Merry Maids which I used to love but can't find them anymore. Anyone got any ideas or does anyone know where they can be found? A bit of nostalgia for me and a load of other folk I'm sure.
