    Snow possible here. Not forecast yet but they have forecast near freezing temperatures and rain, so it could happen.

    More likely we'll get some sleet. The poor man's snow. If weather was chocolate sleet would be a Caramac bar.

    Much as I follow Cyclones and Anti-cyclones in the Atlantic, the main event tonight must be the full Moon. Drives people into madness apparently.

    We had a partial Lunar eclipse this morning. Not a big deal. Moon just goes a bit pink. Not worth getting up for. I just bought some chocolates later.

    Yum. Happy days. I don't mind Cadbury's Fruit and Nut, but Nestle sell much nicer plain chocolate Fruit and Nut in France. Can put up with Belgian Truffles too. Best thing we make in England is Crunchie Bars, IMO. Cadbury's Turkish Delight seems to have disappeared.
    Actually Cadbury's Turkish Delight never appeared. Because Fry's got there first I know I know, nobody likes a smartarse!

    I quite like Crunchie bars (or "chocolate covered tooth decay"), but in general I much prefer plain chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids, such as made by Lindt or by Green & Blacks.
    +1 for the Green & Blacks. With the added bonus that Anita can't stand it

    Can't stand dark chocolate, other than in a nice mousse au chocolat, where you defo need the high cocoa content!

    I know it's better for you/healthier, but it's just too bitter for me to eat raw. So when I have chocolate, it's got to be a *quality* milk variety, such as Lindt, Milka, Thorntons, Ritter Sport, etc. I'm not a fan of the 'bog standard' stuff, such as Cadburys or Galaxy.

    And yes, generally I prefer the taste of European chocolate to British.
