Yeah they're the classic mint version. Lifesavers are if I can remember IMO
a tacky polo rip-off (though they may have been around longer for all I
know) from the US - I don't think they compare.....

Wonder if Uncle Joe's Mint Balls have a website, they've got
mystical/magical qualities too.

lol :) no I'm actually from Surrey (no posh jokes please) - I'm pretty sure
'skanky' is a very English word thinking on it - I don't think I've ever
heard it in any US films/tv.

We have the same word, I don't think it has the same meaning. It is most
often used to modify a word describing streetwalkers. It refers to a
disgusting uncleanlyness.

Peter Tosh sings about "Easy Skanking" - I've always assumed it was a dope ref.

Since I don't know who Tosh is and I am not up on drug slang, I cannot
verify this.

'Skanky' in British Teenager speak means to be unclean - so I think it has
the pretty much same meaning.
