Yeh, its weird how a box of chocs could make you sadly nostalgic, but as I say we'd just kept on with the tradition of me old mam giving me them at Xmas and I was into my 40s when they went. Never had them any other time of year.
December 10, 20232 yr Author Oh yes. They were superb, couldn't remember the name of them, they were like little bricks of different flavour chocolates in different colour wrappers half white and half either pink,blue, orange, brown, purple or dark blue if i remember correctly.

Never had them any other time of year. Exactly. They were bloody delicious too. Just been reading that Kraft closed the York factory when they bought Terry's. Took production of chocolate oranges to Poland, that I didn't know about, and killed off those delicious rectangles.

December 10, 20232 yr I have never gone into M&S with the intention of doing a food shop. Maybe the odd thing if nearby, but never for a specific set of goods.

My brother had a proper spoilt teenager tantrum over the M&S biscuit selection coz he didn't want those biscuits he wanted biscuits with wrappers on, me being the helpful fucker I am offered him the orange one in the foil apparently that wouldn't do either. Over 20yrs later and 'biscuits with wrappers on' is still a thing in our house. Only Quality Street leftover at ours are the coconut ones, i like the sickly sweet orange/strawberry/coffee cremes, the missus likes the nutty ones and my lad claims the toffee, theres 2 tubs worth of coconut ones in the kitchen waiting on someone coming round over christmas who'll eat them

Those tubs are £3.89 in tesco till 12th. In charge? Like a proper job? Blimey that’s some responsibility that is. Made me smile that.

A few year back we left it too late and pretty much everything we ordinarily bought for Christmas had sold out or silly prices. So I made it my job. Its great having a cupboard full of treats and drinks ready. Even better it was all bought whilst on offer.

If they don't then save them any coffee creams.

It's gives my wife one less thing to think about over Christmas. I'm not a big chocolate eater, prefer Bertie Bassetts or gums. Sour Patch Kids are outstanding 👌🏻
December 11, 20232 yr M&S is ok but fucking pricey, we use it for lazy Sunday dinner if just two of us as they do small joints and prepared veg that is miles better than Morrisons which where we do the big shop. If kids are round and doing a big Sunday dinner local butchers for meat. On Quality Street saw something last night that Cost Co do a massive (2kg??) box that is an absolute bargain
