    Maybe the poster is Hindi, in which case it's part of the rite of passage into childhood*


    *When we were in India we saw locals giving very young children the milk, urine and faeces of a cow as a ritual.


    I also don't believe thorntons to be a patch on what they used to be, exept the Viennese truffles, the rest of it tastes like cack ;)

    Their 'Old fashioned' sweets in silly celophane bags are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced per 100g as are BHS's in the sale too
    Its laughable watching people 'thinking' they have got a bargin

    However, there is no denying that they make the best chocolate ever, so unfortunately probably won't be avoiding!

    Thorntons? The best chocolate ever? My God - what are you comparing it with? :doh:

    Not a big Thorntons fan but these do sound quite nice:

    Otherwise this place has a decent selection of good chocolate:
