100 grams of brandy truffles is ?4. You get 8 chocolates.


They have Hester Blooinmarvelous visit their shop and I'm sure its a great attraction for ED.


More importantly - they have changed their midget gem supplier and now have soft ones and not the original hard ones. This dismays me greatly.


I shall withhold my custom until this matter is rectified.


Perhaps James Barber can help on this one - midget gems are a surefire vote winner.

Really Mic Mac..



I mean where else sells "not fags" eh ...?


See... and that joke snap chewing gum that I let my eldest experience 1st hand when he was 5 years old


( I swear the girls were on the verge of calling social services )


Honest he's never forgotten/ forgiven that one


Anyway it's nostalgia you're paying for


And that don't come cheap...



"ding-a-ling"


*shop door closes*




W**F


( oh & in my dream/nightmare/seri-state/ I go to get served & as the girl smiles, her black teeth fall out into a little plastic basket...)

Course I didn't think it was really YOU Mick Mac. But do let us know if you go it alone and set up a rival one.


Like I said before, if they haven't changed the top secret formula for flying saucers or sherbet lemons...I will *likely* manage to sleep tonight.


(Oh, is that the time??) ;-)

Hove actually...



Hove actually has a legendary chocolate shop called "Audreys"


( poop to you H&G, this makes your contrived weirdness seem, well "pedestrian" )


Back in the day you'd walk in there ( door dead centre of the shopfront that pinged as you opened it, plain full length "voile" curtains over the windows & a dead straight counter dead ahead of you. The place was like a set from a Coen Brothers movie, all painted in creamy buttermilk colour ) off the side street with little or no other shops near by.


I never, ever, saw anyone else in there


Anyway "ping" would go the door......


And you'd wait....for a while......& then a little longer....oh, but the smell just caught you


A slightly built woman in a fitted white almost nursie workcoat would appear, wearing whiteish cream gloves, neat dark tied back hair. Unsmiling but with a slightly inquisitive face " Can I help you" as if you were lost.


There started a wonderful ritual of discovery at Audreys. My dad used to buy his mother chocolates from there when he was a child back in the 50's



It's a bit special, make a trip next time you're down there


5 year old marrachelo cherries in liqueur encased in dark chocholate


( shoot me now, it can't get any better )



Trust me

You can get the same liquorice toffees at Sainsbos for less dosh. Think the bag is bigger too. I find them very addictive.

You're welcome. I am on a constant quest for good liquorice toffees. H&G used to run out alot and sometimes had naff ones in. I also like the aniseed balls. There is a good sweet shop in Columbia Road Market if anyone is going over there. Can't remember the name. And have you seen the website aquarterof?

Ha ha...me too! Thorntons' are excellent...but be a bit careful if you have crowns (which if, like me, you enjoy your sweets - you probably will do).

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
