That sounds good!


Though my grandchildren wouldn't like it. We once went to Paul's and they both rejected their hot chocolate on the grounds that it was "too chocolatey" :)) :)) :))

Pleasantly surprised to hear melange is still going. Agree it's the best place for proper hot chocolate & chocolate.


The shop was like walking into someone's dimly lit living room, cat curled up on the armchair, lamps, cushions, no-one visible behind the counter then a shout from the back. A rare find in these days of bland homogenisation.

I was going to come on and recommend melange as well but I see you've been and decided they didn't have the packaging you wanted. One idea for future would be to buy a nice box to put the chocolate bars in and tie it with some ribbon. I'm sure the various gift shops would have something suitably posh looking.

A good idea, but I didn't have time to trawl round looking, and I suspect any boxes from a gift shop round here would have cost as much as the chocolate, if not more!!!


I do miss Hope and Greenwood, they had a range of boxes in different sizes for their chocs, fairly basic but nice.

Can you confirm your purchase of NICE CHOCS IN ED


And that you're aware where, if ever you needed, that you know Mealnge have moved, that that was then and this is now, you/we know of the places or places to buy chocolate.


ALL GOOD FOR CHOCS IN ED NOW


THANKS EVERYONE

But Sue, you could have finally used one of those really useful East Dulwich shops that sell little boxes, ?6 greetings cards and tiny cushions :-)

    • They don't "crap everywhere". Do you call dogs (or their owners)  "pests" as well? I see more dog mess on the streets round here than anything produced by foxes.
    • What else do you call them.They crap everywhere it is unpleasant clearing up after them, so I do call them a pest
    • But in those distant days, there was no other means of communication for most people. There was semaphore, then morse code, then telegrams, then landline telephones (no idea of dates or what order they were invented or introduced).  Actual written letters might be carried around the country on horseback or in stage coaches. I'm so ancient I remember it was a big deal to get a birthday telegram on my birthday, and my parents didn't have a phone for ages. Now many things are done by email or other online methods, and most people (at least in this country) have mobiles. And if something needs a physical copy, it can usually be printed out at home (or at a print shop if you don't have a printer). So actual physical post is becoming less and less important for the vast majority of people. I'm pretty sure the idea of first and second class post was originally in terms of the time taken between posting and delivery (first class next day, second class longer) and nothing to do with the time of day things were delivered, but I stand to be corrected. If the changes mean we get things like new bank cards and random items we've ordered online quicker, then great, but otherwise I can't see it's going to make much difference to most people. Even things like hospital appointments are dealt with by apps and/or email these days.
