All female. Just can't bear either the smell or taste of the stuff. Just walking past a Thorntons shop in the UK used to make me physically gag. As for the taste, I did try it when I was a kid but that revolting claggy manky feeling in the mouth was more than I could bear. I'm not very good at being able to make my youngest (a major chocoholic) hot chocolate without feeling ill. Give me a packet of chips anyday

That's the thing as well, if it's summit in your childhood that put you off, then chances are you're put off for life

Funnily enough though, i only like Cadbury's chocolate, and here it tastes nothing like uk Cadbury's so i've barely eaten any since i've been here (which is a good thing i suppose) - but i miss it!

According to my family, and others on here, Coles' own is very good. However none of my lot notice any difference between UK and Aus chocolate so you may not consider Coles' any good

Well I placed an order on line and ordered heaps of diabetic chocolate - only to receive a call today that they've got none:curse:

What's the use of putting it on the site, especially speciality diabetic chocolate - and then not having any.

Not impressed

Good onya soaps. Diabetic chocolate is like rocking horse shit in Aus so I was wetting myself with excitment when I saw it on the site.

It's like dreaming about sleeping with Brad Pit - only to wake up next to Onslo What a dissapointment

I was seriously miffed

Hi Hon

Thanks for that

The web site gave all these and more besides including lovely pictures and that's the point hon, I ordered them on line as they were supposedly available, and I was informed today via voicemail that they weren't in stock afterall:curse:

What would be great is if you could feedback to the owner/boss that they should't advertise anything they can't deliver i.e if it's not in stock, don't advertise it for sale. That way no one gets upset

Thanks again my lovely. I really appreciate your post

You are so much lovelier than soapy. Are you sure you're his child
