Hello folks!  We seem to be giving Green & Black's chocolate a lot of free advertising here. I'm not counting the Google Ads, because nobody takes any notice of them.  I think Green & Black's should return the favour and send us a lorry load of each variety! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifI can dream... Richard  |

Hi Richard, I agree completely. I did my sweet organic gift homework before driving down to Melbourne for Readings on May 1st. Among others, I rang our local Woollies to see what they had and found out that I knew one of the young managers from way back. He did have a simple bar thing & asked me about what I'd actually wanted. Anyhow, I met him weeks later while shopping & he asked me if I'd found my organic choc. I was surprised he remembered even. Within a very short time G & B's appeared on the shelves....3 types. So yes Richard, we're all worth about a truckload apiece. Graeme i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

I was strolling through Target, buying a gift bag for a baby shower and at the cashier I got some chocolate and saw that G&B chocolates were there.  So they are available in the states but they don't have a distributer listed on their website. No problem, I got to taste them...and they're good  Meldy |

OK Meldy & Richard, Because this has G & B choc in it means that it does belong here. It serves the several purpose of transporting chocolate, selling chocolate, selling tickets, giving faraway fans otherwise impossible Concerts....even could be used to transport neatly packed rows of fans to a distant concert spot. You'll note that the plane has turbo prop engines...heaps of power to spare. You never know. The idea may catch on. Where's Steve Abbott?

Hi Graeme, That's an interesting picture you put together well done! Am I right in thinking it's the third time you've posted it today? If it is, I should mention that one of the 'jobs' of the forum mods is to keep duplication to a minimum and you've just triplicated that one.  With things like that, just decide where the 'best' place to post it is, you can always link to it from other places if you want to. It saves us a lot of head-scratching... Cheers, Dave |

Excellent idea Greame "Flying Concert Hall"  This'll be a first, where the artist comes to the fans instead of the fans going to the artist  Meldy |

Hello Meldy and everyone! There could be a small problem. If Green & Black's are the official sponsors, the fuel will have to be environmentally friendly, so it must be recycled. I know, if we convert the engines to run on solid fuel, we could burn the old wrappers! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifWe'll have to eat a lot of chocolate to fly from London to New Zealand!

Hi chocolate fans! I didn't think my local ASDA stocked G & B's but discovered on Monday that they had the complete range, plus a few 'specials'. Anyway, this one caught my eye as I love almonds  Didn't read the label, so didn't realise it was milk chocolate or that it actually contained almonds (not just flavouring) but it's absolutely gorgeous. For anyone who hasn't tried the milk variety, it is less bitter and tastes quite like standard dark chocolate. Wonder if Hayley would like it? Perhaps someone should ask her if there are any other varieties she would like to try. Anyway, enjoy the picture whilst I enjoy the chocolate. Best wishes Grant |

Hi Grant & Stephany & Caite, That can't be the genuine G & B.  It has no Westenra gift note on it. Graeme...our local Woollies has Dark, Milk & Maya...thats all. Almonds makes me immediately think of marzipan. I love Marzipan. |
