If this ever came to pass, can you imagine how many women with PMT who NEED their fix of chocolate but can't afford it, would be walking the streets. I wouldn't mind betting the murder rate would shoot up.

Unfair!  |

Unfair! Actually, it would have targetted blokes. How many men bring their wives/partners chocs as a "sorry, I'm a prat" gesture instead of flowers? I mean flowers are OK, but they don't taste nearly as good as choccies. |

I am not a chocoholic (unless its white chocolate). Frankly there is too much of this attitude that today anything that people enjoy must be taxed to make us poor or miserable. Come on guys, life is drab enough as it is!!!

liking white chocolate means that you secretly really hate the proper stuff! i agree with you - why hide behind chocolate to excuse increased taxes  |

You don't much sneakier than chocolate tax.
Will you have to pay in chocolate coins?
Has Patrick already made that quip?

I've given up chocolate (for the time being anyway). I've put on a few pounds since Christmas and when I tried on some trousers the other day that I've had for a couple of years, I felt like I was wearing a corset.
"That's it!," I said, "no more sweets, cakes (well perhaps cakes) or biscuits. No dumplings with the beef casserole (Mr. E. was nearly in tears last night), and definitely no more double cream."
Bugger.
