my wife, Mrs. SkidMarks is from New Zealand and is addicted to Cadbury's Chocolate Fish. In the past I have been able to get her some from Cybercandy here in the U.K. but they are out of stock. Does anyone know anywhere else where I can get some more?

She also likes Chokitos, which I know I can get in Australia and Switzerland, but once again if anyone knows of a U.K. supply, I would be extremely grateful.

Skids, you can buy chocolate fish (along with chocolate almost-anything-you-can-think-of) at the really rather wonderful and highly recommended Chocolate Trading Company

[www.chocolatetradingco.com]

It's primarily an online service, but they're based here in the UK and have a shop in Alderley Edge (which is in Cheshire I do believe).

They do chocolate sardines and a range of assorted foil-wrapped fish too.

Oh, and the Cybercandy shop in Garrick Street, Covent Garden (London) sell Chokitos - I bought one myself quite recently (they've only just opened there I think)

I don't believe I've casually mentioned recently (ie in the last month or so) that I live within sight of the TAsmanian Cadbury Factory. Best view in town.

Long ago, my mother worked in the Hobart Cadbury factory (I may be wrong, it could have been Launceston). The workers were allowed to eat as much chocolate as they wanted, any time they felt like it. Apparently, when new workers came in, the binge lasted for a couple of days and then - like everybody else - they couldn't eat another chocolate if their lives depended on it.

Ptolemy, thanks for the info - Alderly Edge is not too far from where we live, so we will visit.

We have bought Chokitos online from Cybercandy. (Their new shop opens today.) However it is @#$%& to fly to Switzerland with an empty suitcase, hit the shops in the airport, then fly back!

Chocklit fish?!

are they full-sized trout-like creations...or many small ones in a packet?

I once had a tin of chokky sardines. They were about half sized and did not taste ANYTHING like fish.

Come to think of it there was no tomato sauce either.

That's OK, skidmarks. Don't believe everything you hear about me ;)

Robert, it's true, workers at the factory (had to be Hobart, it's the only one in the state) go all out for about a week and after that never eat chocolate again. It's the only known cure for chocoholism.

I live not far from the Ringwood Cadbury factory in Victoria.
On a clear day, when the wind comes from the west...

sniiiiffffff!!!! ooh, they are making cherry ripes!!!!!!!

sometimes you just have to be in my head.
sometimes it will be rather crowded in there, sometimes echoingly quiet...

When I'm at Uni, I live ten minutes from the original and best Cadbury factory in Bournville, Birmingham.

When the wind is in the right direction you can smell the chocolate.... yum.

yes definitely the best Cadbury factory but not a patch on the output from Sprungli in Zurich.

My family lived near a tannery in Mascot (my Grandfather actually worked there). When the wind came from the right diection, everybody moved up wind.

Thank you Ptolemy for the link to the Chocolate Trading Company.

We found plenty of interesting stuff. Unfortunately the fish that they sell are like Christmas tree decorations and The NZ ones that my wife craves are chocolate covering a pink filling which (to me) has the texture and taste of furniture foam.

She was quite taken with the 100% cocoa blocks and said that she would like to develop a taste for the Porcelana, but at over £5 for a 50gm bar, we need to win the Lottery.

By the way, Skid, have you thought of entering your trees as contestants in Robert's competition?

There's a competition for entering trees?

Maybe for climbing them? Does that count as entering them?

Robert's competition?

We don't have trees, just a cat who thinks bookcases are trees (and speaker stands are trees and the coat stand is a tree and that I am a moving tree and that the fridge is a tree and............)

My competition? Do I have competition? They don't even come close.

Be my guest and enter trees into them. As painfully as possible.
