How to remove this mark?
Ok, some cleaning advice needed, please! The other day, my wife took DD's bike out of the back of our car (people carrier). In doing so, she rubbed the rubber bike handle on the grey cloth (sort've) material on the roof, leaving a great big black rubber mark. Any ideas how to get this out?

GU Chocolate Puddings
Yesterday my DS bought some GU Chocolate Puddings for us. They were delish.

Can anyone help me with a recipe for something similar? Thanks DG
