When I was a teen my friend's father too my friend and I to London and we visited Downing Street.
Father walks up to copper and says "My name's Harold, can I come in?" (bonus points to anyone who can work out the approximate year!)
The policeman didn't move more than a twitch of his lips - this was the first time I had heard an Adult say "F*** Off"

Fortunately there is a solution.
If we all go out and panic buy now before the Christmas rush we should all be ok.

Everyone knows that the only time to buy chocolate is the week after the Christmas hols and the week after Easter.
In our house, the nippers went so far as to demand that we postpone Easter by a week, each year, so that they could get three times as many choccy eggs.

We did a similar thing for several years. Between my sister working at a bed-and-breakfast, and two brothers in the military, getting the family together for Christmas and New Year was a huge challenge. Our solution was to switch the festivities to Twelfth Night, Jan. 5. That worked much better with everyone's schedule, with the added bonus that we could shop for presents at all the after-Christmas sales.

I am Swiss. I'll never have a lack of chocolate.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

Depends on the manufacturer - I got one 10 minutes away from where I live, and the choc is reasonably cheap (but good quality) if you can pick it up at the company-owned store next to it.

So we could invest in chocolate by buying cheap now and selling high at Christmas? Sound reasonable?

I'm amazed no one's commented on the obvious:
Headline: Price of chocolate 'to triple'
Opening: The price of Britain's favourite chocolate treats could be set to soar by up to a third by Christmas after a crippling rise in cocoa butter and other costs, experts have revealed.
Based on the headline, the price is going to increase by 300%. Based on the opening text, plus other information in the article, the increase is actually 33%.
Is this English math?

If I click 'New message', and start typing away my new message, after a few seconds of typing the focus is shifted to the start of the text entry box so I might end up with something like below;
, and start typing away my new mesIf I click 'New message' by which time I notice and the cursor would be at in the middle of the 'mesIf'.
It is so elephanting annoying!

It's not your computer, it's rather by design.
Has something to do with holding a large number of Intel shares, I'd guess.

Purgatory. It's your turn and time to pass through the Leslie Loop.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I like to think I would have played it cool and started laughing.
But I totally would have screamed like a little girl while setting the new land speed record on foot.
