I used to spend my pocket money on vanilla fudge - you could get quite a lot for a shilling and I used to cut the cubes into smaller pieces to make it last longer. It could possibly explain how I got to be what I am today... fat :-( |

You may be right and I couldn't possibly do the test. What I do know is that those so-called sweets sold as "vegan fudge" in some branches of Holland & Barrett are not an adequate substitute (and they cost too much). |

Our old Woolies is being taken over by a heart charity (I think - I went by in a hurry to get to a hairdressing appointment) offering to do house-clearing. They are going to sell furniture and white-goods (presumably second-hand, resulting from the house-clearances). |
