We have a bespoke chocolatier in town. Yum. Special treat choccy.

Otherwise, I'm a teacher, chocolate flows through my veins and clogs my arteries!  ;D

Can't say I'm a fan of "fancy" chocolate. A friend of mine used to send me specialty choccies which usually had a sting in the tail like salt or chili.

Can't beat your Diary Milk or a Yorkie Bar.

Yorkie and me trucking on,
for a long day's run
can be short on fun,
without Yorkie to help me along."

Preferably the plain chocolate type we used to get in 24hr rat packs.

When I can get it I like 90%  chocolate, and I'm also very fond of the chilli chocolate sold by Aldi. I find milk chocolate far too sweet and cloying.

On the plus side, my plan for a chocolate free January is going well. If it goes really well, I'm hoping for a chocolate free February,

Why is it again that are you giving up chocolate? Was it doctor's orders? Did you get The Bourneville Ultimatum?

[See! See what happens when I'm sober?  Is chocolate good for a sore head .......?  #-o ]
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

This is my 3,000th post, so hopefully I'm going to get promoted. Will this result in a pay rise and an increased elephant? No? Well, hobble on then. Is it the 7 virgins, or at least the key to the executive loo. On second thoughts, at my age, perhaps a locked bathroom could lead to unfortunate accidents. As for the seven virgins, as long as they don't talk whist "Only Connect" is on, they can bunk down in the spare room. I've got to that stage of life when I see young girls and just want to protect them.

Anyway, I won't let this exulted new rank change me, apart from the extra gold braid on my pyjamas. I promise to remain the sensible, level headed leader and shaper of the zeitgeist.

Never understood the craving for chocolate. Even allowing for the fact that it's got too much sugar in it for me, I've never missed the stuff. Now if it were cheese.... =P~ =P~ =P~
