Description

This is one for your sweet tooth (or is it sweet teeth?!) because we are heading to the pick’n’mix store for some sweet talk from Susie and Gyles.  



We’ll discover the link between bread and pastilles, what gyles’ favourite word lallygagging and lollipops have in common and what festivity the candy cane has to thank for its distinctive shape.  

Susie will hit the sweet spot each time as she gives us the origins of some of our sweetest phrases and Gyles shares the story of perhaps the worlds most iconic sweet store and its pick’n’mix aisle, Woolworths.

Gyles' poem this week was "Purple poem" by 'David Walser  

When making a jus in your newly bought blender  

A sip is quite hopeless, you must have a snurple  

Did you add beetroot? Then the snurple, is purple.  

And a snurple that’s purple is fit for a turtle.   



A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
