It's not on Delia Online, but I have the book and will look it up for you!.!.!.
Uncle billy's toffee:
1lb (450g) brown sugar
12 oz (350g) salted butter
1 teaspoon malt vinegar
5 floz water (150ml)
Put all ingredients into a very large pan (or it will boil over), bring SLOWLY to the boil over low heat for about 10-15 mins stirring occasionally!. When sugar has completely dissolved, turn heat up and insert cooking thermometer and let mixture bubble without stirring until temp reaches 250F or 130centigrade - about 10 minutes!.
Pour into an oiled tin (19 cm square or 7-8 inches)!.
Allow to set, turn toffee out and bash with a hammer or rolling pin!.
If you don't have a cooking thermometer, test by dropping a teaspoonful onto a saucer of cold water!. It if sets immediately into a soft pliable ball it is ready!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry i cant find Delia's but here's a lovely simple toffee recipe
TOFFEES
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup brown vinegar
1!. Place sugar, water and vinegar into saucepan, stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved;brush down sides of suacpan with brush dipped in hot water to remove any sugar from sides of pan!.
2!. Increase heat, boil rapidly uncovered for approx 15 mins or until a small amount, when dropped into cold water will crack!. This gives a good hard toffee!. ( if you prefer the "stick jaw"or more strechy toffe, boil for 10 - 12 mins only or until a small amount, when dropped into cold water, forms a soft ball between the fingers!.) Remove from heat while testing!.
3!. When toffe is ready, remove from heat, stand saucepan in cold water 1 min!. Remove pan from water, and all all the bubbles to subside!.
4!. For easier handling pour toffee into heatproof jug!. Tehn, pour into paper cases!. (To keep good shapewhile toffes set, stand paper cases in patty cake tins!.) Leave 2 mins before decorating with cocnut or hundreds- and - thousands!.
