    No comparison between the proper chocolate that we buy and the product that says it is chocolate in the UK. Think it comes down to cost in the UK as sugar from sugar beet is a lot cheaper than cocoa. There are still the more expensive brands such as Thorntons that produce their individual sweets in the UK, but a great deal of the chocolate bars sold in the supermarkets is made in the EU. As no labelling requirements are necessary in the UK, it is quite likely that a bar was made in Poland or one of the countries with cheaper labour.

    I can only give you the facts, Northern folk can make of it as they like.

    I suppose the nearest you have in the North is fried mars bars at the chippy.

    Thinks have gone quiet on the EU bashing front SH. Could this have anything to do with the programme put forward by the EU Commission of 500 Billion being given in form of grants with a further 250 billion given in credit - where the repayments are shared between all EU countries collectively ?

    I think you Northerners should stick to talking about fried mars bars, much more at home.
