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!

Don't get me started. Bought my dad some chocolate mints last Chrimbo, put D (as in "Dad" ) on the wrapping paper. Unfortunately,
the official family present hander-outer gave them to by brother Dan and I didn't notice. Didn't really matter because my sis ate the lot
before boxing day. I felt guilty my dad didn't get his minty chocs so bought him some more, my sis scoffed those too!!! LOL

Just say "I'm surprised you're not even heavier after all those chocs you scoff" to her (either one of you )
Might be wise to exit quickly at that point though

I must be really sad/old, 3d for a proper mars bar.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

And then people could start bickering about how you can't get in touch with a certain chocolate maker...
