    I know that at some filling stations, if you move your car before paying for fuel the camera system alarms as a non payer / runner.

    First Easter eggs spotted on shelves in our local CO OP today !!

                                       HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE  :/

    Creme eggs aren't as bad as parsnips, but they're close.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    They are selling white chocolate creme eggs. They must be about 350% sugar [green faced emoji]

    These weren't cream eggs these were full sized assorted Cadbury's eggs.

    The purveyors of white chocolate should be prosecuted under the trades description act. There are NO cocoa solids in it, so it should NOT be called Chocolate  :s

    I don't know what's in other brands but Belgian Côte d'Or white chocolate does at least have a lot of cocoa butter in it, altho with sugar as the main ingredient it is still far too sweet except as chocolate chips in triple chocolate chip biscuits.   Haven't made those in a while.

    Never did like Cadbury's Creme eggs.

    RG - those HGVs drive in convoy so they don't have to look where they're going.  Saw a  daytime TV prog about police patrols finding drivers reading/texting/watching videos on PC screens whilst driving on the motorway...........

    Was curmudgeonly when l got in a lift with 2 young ladies this afternoon. They smiled at me in a polite "poor old dear" way, but what cracked me up was the start of the conversation - "5 jam doughnuts ??!!" "Yeah, l was excited".
    Got home out the kettle on and opened a tin of chocolate biscuits we were given for Christmas. OH "choccy biscuits ? " Me "Yeah, l was excited".  At which point l collapsed in hysterics and it took me ages to explain it. It was so off the wall, l was reminded of the late Victoria Wood.

    I've bought more boxes of chocolate biscuits since xmas than I care to admit. When they're £1 each it's too good to refuse. :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    On another tangent, SOCKS!   Where do they go?   OH found one of my new socks outside under the living room window next to the X Xmas tree which we posted out there for simplicity.   The other has disappeared - not in the laundry basket, not in the clean washing, not under the tree.   Theories?
