Hello,

The boxes of Thornton's chocolates makes me ill. Marks and Spencers boxed chocolates I find are much better. Cadbury doesn't taste like either.I eat a lot of choclate including Lindt, Suchard, Leonidas, Godiva, Chocolate Hotel, Montetzumas, Charbonnel et Walker etc.

I am 100% sure that Marks and Spencers, Thornton's and Cadbury's boxed chocolates are not the same.
I find Marks and Spencer's are by far the best of the three, for boxes of chocolates.
I only need a couple of Thornton''s choclates and I rash and feel sore on my face. I can eat loads of Marks or Godiva cocolates without any negative effects.

Hello,

I trial Boots products and live in London. If you live near Nottingham, or can travel there easily, you can do more trials.They send me the samples and I send them feedback in the form of a questionnaire.

This has maybe been posted before, but Marks and spencers chicken is the same chicken that is sold in other supermarkets under their branding. Marks and spencer just ask for the chicken to be cleaned and plucked more.

I know because my cousin works for a major poultry producing firm where all the supermarkets buy from.

When I worked for Homebase, which was a while ago, their own brand paint was produced by Crown, not sure there is alot you can do with paint really but i'm sure it would be of the same quality.

Well, I did a "taste test" on a couple of items. Northern Ireland Tesco Cheese and Onion crisps are DEFINATELY NOT Tayto.
Tesco Weetabix however does seem to be the real deal.
