I've never been a fan of quality street as it has mostly fruit flavoured centers and the price is ridiculous. I used to think it was expensive because of the tin but when I see decorative tins at the pound store I can't see the justification.

I've been up for hours and even though I've been thinking quite hard, I can't seem to remember where I left my motivation/get up and go! I think these back to back days of cloudy skies are draining me.
Aha, that's it, I must be solar powered

 

I think they've even got rid of the tins Lori, I bought someone quite a large pack last year and it was just plastic. Makes me wonder if that plastic's even recyclable...

So now even less justification for the price tag!

 

Unlike the old metal tins, those plastic tubs are no longer suitable for keeping your rat bait in, as they can gnaw through them, then carry the lot off to stash it somewhere (unsafe?) before they die.

 

We used to have a chocolate crumb factory in our town, it was built by Rowntree's in 1950, way before I was born. My mum's best friend used to work there, she often gave us some chocolate off bit's when I was a kid, it was a treat I looked forward to. I think when Nestle bought out Rowntree, it was the largest foreign buyout for a British company.

Egremont bypass was completed in the early 1990's which took the route of the old railway line, the chocolate factory was demolished in the 1990's and is now a compact housing estate. This image would of been in the mid to late 1950's,



The image below was probably late 1980's construction of the bypass of Egremont, with the Rowntree's chocolate factory still standing to the right.

 

That's reminded me of a relative (so long ago can't remember them, might have been a great aunt), who worked in a biscuit factory and got big bags of broken biscuits, all sorts [1] mixed up together.

[1] Come to think of it, might have been a company who were bought out by Bassets.

I remember we used to buy those from Woolworth's in Luton in the late 50s early 60s.

 

OMG, this was the quinoa, avocado and tofu aisle at Tesco this morning

 

Well I did hear there was a problem regarding distribution of those products and PASTA.

 

I remember buying broken biscuits, a big bag for not a lot of money Ken Dodd had a broken biscuit repair factory in Knotty Ash staffed by Diddy men
