We don't see many of those anymore. I took leave of my last one in 2016 and miss it dearly for cost effectiveness and never needing charging. Great you had your oldest and family. I have never seen Kew Street. Quality Street is common here and always given as Christmas gifts. Compliments of the season to you and yours.
