Wonka's chocolate - note for Mike especially

Mike mentioned yesterday in another thread that he had bought some very 
expensive chocolate in John Lewis.  I had to go into town this 
lunch-time to take something back to Selfridges and on the way back 
thought I'd stop off in John Lewis and see if they had Wonka's 
chocolate, as they had sold out of it the first time they stocked it as 
soon as it hit the shelves.  Lo and behold - they had it and I bought 
three different kinds in cylindrical blocks a bit like French butter. 
One of the assistants saw me with it in my basket and said I would very 
quickly become addicted.  Is that the chocolate to which you were 
referring yesterday, Mike?

OT from this point down:

PS  I also bought a beautiful pen at a really good price in Selfridges. 
As a pen-pusher by trade, I think I am justified in having lots of pens 
and my collection is large, even if it is of no interest to anyone else 
whatsoever.  I love my pens and they all get used in turn so I don't 
really care what other people say or think about either them or me.  A 
few months ago, someone here made derogatory remarks about the pen and 
pencil collecting newsgroup on Usenet, to which I occasionally subscribe 
but without pens, where would we be, eh?  Eh?  Answer me that!! .... I 
say, answer me that! (Apols to Fred Elliott, deceased:)

Whilst I was there, I also looked at the Agent Provocateur shop on the 
3rd floor of Selfridges.  (Well - it's no good just taking something 
back, getting it replaced and going home again, is it?  Where would be 
the sense in that?  It's the kind of thing men are apt to do.)  My 
goodness, they don't 'arf 'ave some funny bedroom attire in that shop. 
They had a fake-jewel-studded whip reduced from 120GBP to 60GBP.  I'm 
not going to tell my husband about it - I may find out something I'd 
rather not know.  He may just say 'why didn't you buy it?' :~)
