    I had to laugh in the shop on the Maldives  island when we first went there. They did a roaring trade in Bounty bars. It was so people could   pose on the leaning coconut palm  and recreate the advert. The taste of paradise in paradise.

    can't you just make coconut ice and dip it in vegan chocolate?

    Wow .... thanks a bunch @AnniD ,

    I'll have to look out for those. The vegan Galaxy bars are really nice.

  • I only ever eat plain (minimum 70%) chocolate. You can all have my share of that sweet goo that passes for chocolate, and as for so called white choc..... don't start me,  should be banned under the trades description act.

  • Another vote for Bounties, actually 2 cos OH loves them. He says he doesn't 'do' sweet stuff but I'm not the one eating biscuits.

    Dark Bounties are even better.

    IMPORTANT (Curmudgeonly) NOTICE ...my OH wishes it to be known that my share of Bounty Bars is already spoken for thank you very much.  He also wishes it to be known that the dark chocolate ones are the best. 

    He also would also like to draw your attention to the fact (pointed out on his radio show by his hero John Shuttleworth), that sadly Bounty Bar wrappings no longer include that useful piece of card that could be used to write shopping lists on.  :'(

    They're the Devil's work @KT53 ;)
    I've just had an email from Octopus telling me my DD will be 20 odd quid more than it's been. No notification of that. I already raised it earlier this year [less than they wanted] and I'm at least £200 in credit, due to my economising. I'm well aware that there's a price rise in January, but they're all taking the Jimmy Riddle now.
    I was reading an article yesterday about some folk having their debits increased when they were in credit by thousands. Octopus and another company are apparently holding over 1 million pounds worth of customers' money for no good reason. It's beyond ludicrous. They're holding folk to ransom. I can afford my bills, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who can't. 

    I've just emailed them. I don't think they'll be pleased. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Yes, it’s daylight robbery the way they are behaving and nothing is being done about it. Dishonest and disgraceful.
