That was a chilled dessert plant, rather than a chocolate factory as
such. It's been under threat of closure recently, with production moving
to France.


I went past it half way through a 100 mile bicycle ride, and I was
convinced that the route had deliberately gone past a chocolate factory
to taunt us. I don't know if I should let facts get in the way of such
a wild theory.

Same thing as listed at Cuddington, the SKI yogurt factory but, NOT
chocolate.

What is the meaning of the title/caption? Do you know those people? Would
they approve of you taking photographs of them and putting them on the
internet? Especially in the case of the young lady, assuming that you're
insinuating something about her breasts.

The problem with the present business model for vending machines, is that

programmed to 'eat the money but not dispense the product' for one in three

good.
