Sir, – The Christmas tins of sweets have been getting smaller year on year it seems. I recently found an old tin and compared the quantity of sweets that had been in that tin with the quantity of sweets in the same brand this year. There was a 72 per cent decrease in the quantity of sweets. No wonder back in the day the box seemed to last the whole of the Christmas season. It did! – Yours, etc,
