Many years in the past, earlier than satnav, I used to navigate, whereas my associate drove, with the superb Reader’s Digest highway atlas open on my lap (how I miss it). I’m a talented, ex-military-trained navigator. One well-known day, after he hadn’t listened to my directions, we ended up misplaced. He threw the atlas again into my lap saying, ‘Get us out of this mess.’ Reader, I did.
You’d assume with satnav the arguments would have stopped, however they haven’t. Now it’s a case of whichever satnav I select isn’t fairly proper: the writing isn’t sufficiently big, the directions not clear sufficient. Thus it was that we have been driving again from York arguing concerning the relative deserves of Apple v Google v the automobile’s satnav after I determined to cease speaking. We bought to a service station. ‘Would you like something?’ he requested. ‘No,’ I stated, my voice thick with sulk. However, really, I wished a Snickers and I thought of all of it the best way house.
As a result of I used to be clearly proper and karma was on my aspect what was ready for me after I bought house? Not a Snickers, however a set of Pridi Cacaofevier snack bars in amongst which was their model of a Snickers. Pridi is a Thai-based chocolate maker (there aren’t lots of them) and it is a cute field holding 4 25g crammed bars (they appear to be mini-Bountys and one is comparable, however oodles higher).
There’s the peanut caramel one I pounced on, a coconut bar, one with cashew crisp and the final one with caramel cookie. All coated in 64% Thai darkish chocolate. These aren’t low-cost, £12.95, however they’re attractive and excellent if you happen to loved newsagent favourites, however now choose them with much less sugar. An occasional deal with.
