Hi All.

Can anyone help answer a question which has been bugging me and a few
others this weekend?

What was the name of the sweets that Metal Mickey used to like so much?
ISTR a name like 'atomic thingummy-wossnames', although that could have
been the alcohol talking!

Any help, anyone?

Cheers,
Nathan.

To help strange Computer Science students who have drunken conversations
about old tv programmes at 3AM in the morning?!

We were also trying to remember the name of the family with whom he
lived - wasn't it the Wilberforces?

Ah! Memories!

been meaningless :)

"Metal Mickey", too?
