Seriously... nice to see something different and the services being recognised, 2% of all sales from the Thorntons Continental boxed product range will be paid in support of SSAFA.

Well done Thorntons. Thank you, SSAFA

Wonder if there's a Golden Rivet amongst the Fudge Supreme, Crunchy Frog and Ram's Bladder Cup?

Or maybe the future in-laws are more partial to the Anthrax Ripple or Spring Surprise?

(for the younger viewers, look up Monty Python)

Can't we get Quality Street to dish out free backs of the big hazelnut things in purple foil

I think the Lieutenant's ring usually points astern, unless he is seated or lying prone.

Funny how it jumps out at you as soon as you see it! :ok: But "BZ" to Thorntons for the great gesture to such a fantastic cause anyway! :D

Get them while you can, Sleaford branch of Thorntons shuts after Hogmanay.

Happy New Year!

The only half decent card shop in town too.

Good old Thornton's.

Glad to say that the (original) factory wall I pointed in 1975 stayed up until they decided to pull the whole lot down and move to a different town.

My other half had a summer job, packing Thornton's chocolates on a "one for you, one for me" basis. For a day or two, until the chocolate poisoning set in....

HTF did you notice that? I didn't.

You learn something new every day .............. I was blissfully ignorant of RN officers' rings, except I knew they all had them.

"Sing, sing, or show us your ring!" Indeed !

Too many years of wearing the darn uniform: and if you mistakenly put your shoulder boards going astern it was a shout for the wardroom bar :p
