That is so weird -Just yesterday, I was thinking wouldn't it be good if a shop was discovered from the 50s or '60s and wondering whether I would taste the chocolate. I decided, that I probably would.
I'd also read the comics lol. Can't anybody go in? They should keep it open as a museum exactly like it is. lol

This is a wonderful discovery but for me but slightly worrying too. 40 years ago I was very much alive and kicking and yet this discovery is being treated rather like the discovery of Tutankhakun's tomb!  Am I an old relic too? Should I be preserved for future generations to enjoy? (Now, now, Paulham; none of you mucky comments!)

I've heard of such a shop but it has different bars stored on its shelves. I can't say anymore though. It's a secret.




(Did you like that? Did you see the way I did that, eh?)

There used to be a shop a bit like that in Long Eaton (I think Bounty said he's seen it too). It had been empty since the 70s and all the old chocolate displays were still in the window.
