Why did I think of Len Goodman then?
"Have to be" next month on the 4th April Chez nous.
Her

It's
isn't just tables and chairs that have feelings and can talk. Sweets
can as well – don't scoff - no pun intended. At least Cadbury's
milk tray chocolates are able to as I've heard them. I admit it was
Christmas and the wine was flowing but I'm sure I heard their
whispered conversation. It
was in the 50s while I
was attending a family party and after a good feast
I went into the front room to have a rest from the merriment. I had
been sitting there for only ten minutes in a comfortable high back
armchair when believe it or not I heard these tiny voices coming from
a chocolate box with individual chocolates arguing amongst
themselves and from the tone of the raised voices you could conjure
up the different varieties that were talking. I gathered from their
excited chatter that it was on how they were rated as chocolates an
argument that started from the time they were made to share
apartments. It was the chocolate Raspberry
Heaven - A fruity burst of raspberry encased in delicious milk
chocolate
protesting that it was
NOT the least liked of all of them. It argued that some times it was
the first out of the box. The Hazelnut
Swirl - A whole roasted hazelnut set in a heavenly praline tossed
her head sending hazelnut fragments flying in all directions. What
rubbish. Careful
you know we might be eaten by someone with an allergy to nuts

Dreamy Fudge - Soft, creamy fudge enveloped in a dark chocolate
coating
Coffee

Raspberry Heaven - A fruity burst of raspberry encased in delicious
milk
chocolate You
know
you only only
get picked first when some little girl has the first choice they pick
you because you are pink inside, girls love all things pink. Rasberry
Heaven infuriated beyond belief rose indignantly almost jumping out
of the box. What! You know it's nearly always your fate to be the
last one out. You're only here because of political correctness.
Racist
retorted Coffee Crescent.
Almond
Crunch - Finely chopped almonds immersed in a truffle filling and
wrapped in rich milk chocolate warned Quiet I'm sure some one is
listening.
It
was at that point I ceased looking at the box as I was beginning to
think it might be the drink making me delirious. The
sound of the party increased as the door opened and Pauline
my niece came
into the room and seeing the box on the table made a beeline for it.
Tearing
of the cellophane she plucked the chocolate
Raspberry
Heaven from the box. I heard the The
Hazelnut
Swirl - A whole roasted hazelnut set in a heavenly praline
triumphantly
call
out I told you so. Pauline
looked at me reluctantly offering the box but fearing
for my sanity I
muttered no thanks and hurriedly
left the room to rejoin the party
it was time to have another drink.
