in Gone off!
I went into my local Morrisons last night and the aisle that had the school uniforms and BBQ/Picnic stuff was completely empty.

I went in tonight and those shelves are now full to bursting with xmas sweets. Selection boxes, chocolate snowmen, tins of quality street etc.

They even had a giant toffee quality street sweet for £6!

    Are you sure it's not just a shaped container filled with the normal sweets?

    M and S supposedly did a giant walnut whip, but just a plastic shape filled with small walnut whips!

    Boring, we want a giant sweet!!!:D:D:D

    As they have such long dates I tend to buy a few and put them away until later in the year, I also slice up and throw in the freezer. As they do not freeze hard you can have a piece defrosted in no time :)
