    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?

    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 .

    Well spotted .

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