Oh my days....


Those "Craft-y" Americans have gone and bought "our" Cadburys.


I ask you is there anything more defiantly old school than this veritable institution & what do americans know about chocolate anyway. I mean they eat "Hersheys" a brown flavored wax with a distinctly sour note masquerading as "chocolate" it got the flavour because the milk originally soured on its long & arduous journey to the factory


Rightly so the chocolate "capitol" of Bournville has gone into "official gold foil limited edition" mourning.


Even worse "they" (of nasty "Craft" cheese fame) borrowed the money from us to do it ( well from RBS, so same difference )


Now not being known for their sentimental approach the new parent company will implement cuts across the "ranges"



Now are you sitting down, OK I have some news ...



They are getting rid of "Curly Wurly's" & other items we love



I won't accept this however, I do intend on stockpiling enough to last me the rest of my mortal life


Please let me know your favorite & I'll do my best to stockpile these in my "Tuck Shop"




I know, the bastards

British rubber - from Malaysia - part of Empire.


For India - the British Empire invented tea

For Kenya - coffee

For Canada - maple syrup

For Australia - Marmite (Vegemite is an aboration for which they dont deserve our Royal Family)

For New Zealand - frozen lamb

For South Africa - dried beef

For Jamaica - Cadburys Old Jamaica chocolate

For Bermuda - hot pepper sauce (I have recently discovered)

For America - turkey

For Ireland - spuds


All of which can be found in a good Tuck shop, all thanks to Empire.

You've only just discovered hot pepper sauce?!?!?!? Where have you been man! A good firend of mine (bald fella, used to play in band) literally carries a bottle with him at all times. I sh!t you not, I have been for a Sunday roast with him, and he pulled it out of his pocket and poured it all over. That is a step too far for me!

Michael, we in Ireland are so grateful for Empire introducing us to the spud and subsequent famines. However I would never have thought they were tuck shop fare except perhaps in the form of Tayto's. A brand of crisps.

Reminds me of the rather dubious "comedy" Undercover Brother, where the protagonist is given a special weapon to help him blend in - a watch which dispenses hot sauce. It makes even the blandest caucasian food edible.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
