        If it’s not stolen from a store in the West Midlands region, you have to call it “sparkling cacao”.

      Yes. You go on the dark web, post a request for chocolate and wait for offers. When someone agrees to get it you transfer them half of the payment in crypto. They leave the chocolate behind the toilet tank at King’s Cross (western entrance toilet, 3rd stall from the right) and you send them the other half of crypt after picking it up. You can save up to half a crown, depending on the type of chocolate you’re getting.

    I just don’t buy that there’s a market for bootleg chocolate…

    (opens coat) “Heyyyy, uh, can I interest you in a Hershey bar? Maybe some Twix?”

      There’s a massive market. I’ve been offered all sorts in a pub. Chocolate, Gillette razors, batteries, aftershave, meat. Usually carried in a large hodall, rather than a coat!

          If I were making a list of things I’d never buy from some bloke at the pub, dodgy meat would be high up. My memory is hazy, but I think they were pork chops.

    The next time you see a kid selling chocolate bars for a charity, if you buy them you could be funding a criminal enterprise 🤣.

    But in all seriousness who are the thieves selling the chocolate to?

    Cadbury? Really? That’s gone to shit these days. I wouldn’t even buy it from a shady looking drug addict in an alley!

    Now Lindt, on the other hand …
