:think: My Mom has brought this quiz back from work from the coffee morning they had yesterday,I think it's to win a hamper of something,but there is a couple we are stuck on - here is hoping you lot may be able to help!!
It's called "Sweet shop quiz" and here is an example of a couple.

"Wobbly Infants" are jelly babies, "bovine peepers" are bulls eyes.
Now what on earth might these be:

Tommy Rot
Mother's Local
The Pirates loot
For being good children

Come on get thinking sweeties!! :D :D
 
Tommy Rot - No Clue sorry
Mother's Local - No clue Sorry
The Pirates loot - I would say them chocolate gold/silver coins you get mainly at christmas
For being good children - Milkyway/milkybar/buttons as mums always 'used' to give this if you were good?
 
:wave: Hey jennywren,we thought it may be them coins for pirates loot too!! :D

Could be saying someone talks a lot of tommy rot means they're talking nonsence or being deceitful

and the meanings of humbug in th dictionary are

1. something intended to delude or deceive.
2. the quality of falseness or deception.
3. a person who is not what he or she claims or pretends to be; impostor.
4. something devoid of sense or meaning; nonsense: a humbug of technical jargon.
5. British. a variety of hard mint candy.
–verb (used with object)
6. to impose upon by humbug or false pretense; delude; deceive.
–verb (used without object)
7. to practice humbug.
–interjection
8. nonsense!
