chocolate is expensive here.  but still readily available.  and actually, if you buy a big bar, like this 200g dairy milk, not too bad value

and it's exciting too.  your chocolate comes in a cardboard wrapper, which is opened to reveal a silver foil covered chocolate bar

there's something about it which is very Roald Dahl-esque.  i didn't win a golden ticket sadly

the chocolate itself is quite thin rather than the big old chunksters we got back in blighty (no longer called 'home' deliberately when remembering the old days, just over a fortnight ago).

And it tastes different too.  like supermarket own brand chocolate.  but whatever it contains is like human cat-nip as i can't help scoffing whole bars at a time.

which simply aint good.
