A nice one...
A long time ago in a county not so far away a young student, who would later be my girlfriend, turned up for work as a packer at a chocolate factory.

Sadly not Willy Wonkers Chocolate factory, but a certain dark green liveried company who pack exactly the same chocolates in Tesco Value boxes as there own.

The hero of this story is a chocolate lover of epic proportions, but this doesn't involve her bingeing on chocolate, that would be stealing.

In an inspired moment of Robin Hood-esque wealth redistribution she decided that it would be nice to put an extra chocolate in every box!

Imagine opening a box of tongue smotheringly lovely bites of sweet chocolate only to realise that there are two of your favourite! A thousand extra little smiles around the country, a simple gesture of giving in a selfish world.

Unfortunately every box is weighed and if it is too light, missing chocolates, or too heavy, extra chocolates, the box is rejected.

My girlfriends packing line missed their targets that day by some margin.

No one could quite understand what had gone so wrong.




She didn't go back.
