the donkey has long passed away but I can take a photo of the bucket - would that convince you?
I'd had a really bad day, so I thought I'd treat myself to some chocolate, went to the Spar to get a walnut whip (50p as well, extortion!)
got home, sat down, opened it, bloody walnut fell off. Still not found it, summed up my day.
I remember when Wagon Wheels were as big as my head! And Creme eggs used to be the size of proper egg. No more than banty egg size now!

Might be wise to exit quickly at that point though
