Gorn Myson posted:What? No one in the UK is obsessed with Herseys I think they meant Cadburys, which honestly isn't that bad, even if it had to get an exemption from EU rules due to chocolate content or some such IIRC. And yes, I know they are now owned by Americans too. And also that American chocolate is even worse.

American chocolate is not the worst American crime, but it is up there. Cadburys Dairy Milk is still decent, but I don't like how is little lovely bubbles rather than a chonky block. The chocolate in creme eggs is deteriorating rapidly however. Still better than the chocolate in a yorkie but far inferior to the proper dairy milk quality.

Yes but the sentence "the most vile, shittiest chocolate item you can possibly get" can only apply to Hersheys. Just any Hersheys chocolate. This island is poo poo, but the seppos made their land far worse, so they made their chocolate far worse.

Seppos also hosed up cadburys cos it got bought by Kraft and they changed the chocolate formula, and now it's poo poo creme eggs especially, as noted

I’m off to Copenhagen with the family for a few days next week, we’ve got young children, and from just reading online it seems very liveable - public transport looks great, half the population cycle to work, and there are lots of things to do as a family. I’ve found it much easier to find plan activities and meals than in London, it’s weird. Hoping the miserable weather doesn’t ruin it!

Cadburys isn't amazing, but it does punch above its weight for the cost imo.

Every single thing about this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. And with that damning indictment of my comedic taste, could I possibly ask if anyone would be prepared to read a sitcom pilot a friend and I have written? It’s been edited by a proper script editor so it won’t be mechanically a chore to get through, can’t necessarily promise the same for the plot and so-called jokes. I’d be massively grateful for a volunteer who’s prepared to both read it and give me some critique.

dairy milk isn't the same as when I was a kid- I know my taste buds are different but it never had the slightly chalky/antacid tablet texture back then dark milk is pretty good but still has a hint of it

Kinder/Hersheys/Cadburys all tastes like plastic. Kinder Eggs and Creme Eggs are on the same poo poo tier as Hershey's, by consensus. One's just not like the other in that it's shaped like a wet turd. Also on another note, gently caress milk chocolate dark is where it's at.

I don't get that tea. "Creme Egg" isn't a flavour. I like it, but it's just chocolate with creamy sugar inside? I mean I too can just put chunks of dairy milk and shitloads of sugar in my tea.

Maybe it's not the worst thing about flying into the London airports, but for some reason it seemed to me to set the tone that the baggage trolleys have a "deposit" to can use them, and once you leave the baggage pickup area you can't get the deposit back. How am I going to have pound coins when I've just arrived in the country? How badly does Gatwick need a few extra quid? Even other UK airports let you cart around your bags for free, it just seems needlessly petty and poo poo. Of course after that I had to wait 90 minutes for my luggage to arrive, and once I got out of the airport one of my trains never showed up and I was stuck in Reading in the rain at 11pm. But it was the quid for the trolley that stuck with me most.

I’d hope that a cosmopolitan city like Copenhagen is ok - we found Oslo fine, for example. I am visibly brown and went to Copenhagen three times last year with no problems. It's now one of my favourite cities - you can really see where their tax money goes. Everything is clean and efficient and well-thought out, and the city doesn't quite feel like they're trying to squeeze every last dollar out of every last square metre. As someone who lives in a fairly dire waterfront city (Southampton) I am very envious of what they've done with theirs.
