I was looking to see if you were Rachel Crozier that used to live in Chryston just outside of Glasgow.
We are setting up a reunion for all pupils of the high school (meant to be this summer).
If you can let me know, I think your sister was Anita?

I'd like to make some toffee for my father for christmas. Will this soft toffee be of a similar consistency to the round Quality St toffee in the yellow wrapper (I think) ie not soft like fudge and not hard like butter scotch?
Look forward to hearng from you. Best wishes, Rachel
