In any case, the fruit & nut bar wasn't much cop. The chocolate itself was fine, but the nuts were like something I might find in my own garden, after it had passed through some of the local wildlife.

Yep, a bit too rich for me. The wrapper should read "Cats' dangleberries fruit & woodpigeon intestine infused nut", but then there'd be no room for the picture.

I'm not sure they were even nuts to begin with...

No question that your continentals make the best chocolate but that doesn't extend to those dodgy brands you see in Lidl.

I don't know how it's come to this but having to eat chocolate made by companies no-one's ever heard of is beyond the pale. Did we lose a war or something?

No we lost the piece

If the Americans won that one we'd be in trouble - I've heard their chocolate is diabolical.

Well that's the weekly Tesco run sorted. Splashed out a bit, it cost me £18.47.

Don't buy booze, fags, sweets, cakes or meat and the missus is away so it's not going to break the bank :).

talk of a measles eppidemic in london

Well spotted :).

I had it as a child, nearly killed me. I was too delirious to know, but was apparently given last rites. Survived!

Had the measles jab when I was about eight. Do the vaccinations last a lifetime?
