Got a sore throat and am sick of Lockets. I used to see these really strong lozenges in most corner shop but now cant find any especially here in Maidstone. Have they stopped making them ?

Google is your friend, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman's_Friend

Someone in work offered me one a few weeks ago, so you must still be able to get them.

Here in Singapore we get these weird flavours.
Can't recall if they are available in the UK

So it looks like the answer to the OP's question "where can I get some Fishermans Friends from?' is 'The shop'.

These always remind me of my mam. As a child it seemed that she always had some in her bedside table or dressing gown pocket smile

Always have a packet of them in my car. Seam to be able to get them in Sainsbury's and the local Boots.
