I did a quick google search and found this:
90g margarine 4 level tsp. golden syrup 270g self raising or plain flour 90g sugar 2tbs cocoa 2oz rolled oats Preparation Melt the margarine and syrup in a pan, stir in the sifted dry ingredients and the rolled oats.
Place walnut sized pieces on greased baking trays, flattening them with a fork dipped in hot water.
Bake for 20-25 minutes in a gas mark 3 oven, 325 F / 160 C.
Allow to cool before removing from trays and when cold serve plain or sandwiched together with chocolate butter cream.
Makes 16-18.

Maybe offer suggestions for a renaming?Chocolate Kisses were once Maori Kisses in Aunt Daisy's book and Chinese Chews are no longer called that.
'Eskimos' stay doggedly in NZ confectionery, despite Inuit protestations.

Was astonished the other day to hear someone at work, a Scot, having an absolute diatribe about gypsies.I knew there was still huge discrimination in Romania but in the UK in the 2000s?

Have a family member who has just finished a short work contract in Romania, and he said that Romanians were quick to tell him to stay away from the gypsies and that gypsies have given Romania a bad name in the EEC countries...
Many of the petty crimes that befall tourists in France and Italy are blamed on 'the gypsies'.

'Poms' is something else - I'm sure Wattie's Potato Pom Poms have nothing to do with the English ;)
