Originally posted by Padraig View PostI've nearly given up chocolate, but I'm allowed to dream and I dream of marzipan. Terrys used to do a slim Marzipan bar, but I never see it now. They took away the marzipan diamond from Black Magic. There was never a marzipan choc in Quality Street. The Danes still value it and I used to get presents from Denmark at Christmas. Thankfully Lidl get a load of large marzipan bars in for Christmas and I am on the lookout! There's life after Trump after all.

The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

From Wiki: - 'In 1925, Spedan Lewis devised the slogan 'never knowingly undersold' at Peter Jones. Intended mainly as a control on sourcing merchandise, it also meant that customers could shop knowing that they were not paying more at Peter Jones than they could buy identical goods for at other stores. Trade improved and profit-sharing was resumed.'

It should also be known that the choice biscuits always displayed on the Footage Detectives hosts' plate on the Talking Pictures TV channel are artificial
