Cadbury's Roses

I said "I may **** off Roses, but an ex-girlfriend of mine, one of her relatives actually ran the Rose Brothers factory in Gainsborough, and they were absolutely minted, despite not having mint flavoured sweets in the tub. I sometimes think do I technically still have a claim on that fortune?"

Makes just as much sense the second time round.

"I may **** off roses", does this have a W at the beginning and NK at the end? I mean everyone has kinks.
"I sometimes think do I technically still have a claim on that fortune?" this 100% deserves more brain space, i'd go sit down with some roses + tissue and perhaps give that some deeper thought, lets start with did you ever have a claim?

I once spoke to Richard Branson i wonder if that technically gives me a claim to his fortune.
 
Oh right, you were confused by the mandatory OCUK asteriskage of some words. You could also say "I may make derogatory statements about" as opposed to "I may **** off". Taking a risk here by saying it rhymes with bag.

On your second point. Since I pointed out my ex-girlfriends relatives were ******** multi millionaires, (the asterisks in this instance are what you think they are, fully), they owned the Rose Brothers factory in Gainsborough, they were an engineering company that invented the machines that automate the wrapping of sweets. They are called "Roses Sweets" by Cadbury's in recognition of this history. Hence, there may be in some fantasy land, and as an obvious joke, a circumstance where I could swoop in and claim, if not the total amount in their bank accounts, but a tidy sum, based entirely on my previous relationship, and yes it was consummated, with a direct relative of theirs.

Blimey.

Edit: I am truthfully impressed by the Richard Branson connections though.

I had some roses recently and the toffee one has changed so it's more like fudge? I still like the strawberry one but heroes or celebrations are far better.
 
I like Hotel Chocolate, but I need to get a loan out if I indulge.

Talking of chocolate, Easter is not far off. Happy Easter everyone.:D

Cadburys went downhill when they became kraftburys and started Americanising the taste. The tubs are just a massive disappointment now so I don't bother.

Oh ok, I won't eat them again now you've kindly clarified to me that they're terrible, because what is your opinion on them must apply to what I think about Thornton too, correct? GTFO! I love 'em :D

They do seem to taste a lot worse than they used to and they’ve definitely been victim to shrinkflation , I would never buy them but won’t say no if offered one

I much prefer to buy local made chocs or premium brands , luckily we have a good shop in my city that makes them on site and they are delicious too
