Open Letter From my Niece to Cadbury

So, the furore of the Cadbury Creme Egg recipe change has taken something of a personal turn, with my 14-year-old niece feeling incensed enough to do that stalwart British thing ... write a letter!

Enjoy!

Dear Cadbury Recipe Person,

        I am a 14 years old, 8 months and 4 days old person and I am writing to tell you about my HORROR (HORROR I TELL YOU! HORROR) at the fact that you have changed your delicious chocolate recipe.  It pains me to say this but alas, it must be done.  Sorry in advance.

        For the last 14 years, 8 months and 4 days (and probably longer by the time you get this letter) I have been a dedicated consumer (dedicated I tell you!) of Cadburys chocolate, although now I think about it probably hasn't been 14 years, 8 months and 4 days because obviously I didn't eat chocolate as a newborn baby.  Anyway, what I am trying to say is I have been a dedicated Cadburys chocolate eater for a long time (most of my life in fact) and at this sudden change in recipe I am sad to say that your chocolate is just not as good anymore.  I'm so sorry but it's true.  Up to this point in my happy-chappy chocolate loving (except I don't love chocolate, in fact I hate most of it and Cadbury was the only brand I like, oh and I like minstrels but you probably don't care about that because it's galaxy) life I happily ate Cadburys, jelly beans and other stuff but no longer.  Oh no, you HAD to go changing the chocolate recipes and ruining the lives of chocolate-hating-except-for-Cadburys people.  And near Christmas time too!  What heartless people you are!  Christmas is meant to be a happy time not a chocolateless time.  And why is it chocolateless I hear you ask (well I don't but in English we were taught to use rhetorical questions so that's what I'm doing)?  It's chocolateless because you changed the recipe and deprived us all of the chocolate we know and love.

        As far as I am aware, you have only changed the chocolate of the cream egg so far.  This used to be my second favourite of all your chocolates.  My favourite is the Crunchie bar!  It's just so yummy, please, please, please don't go changing the recipe of that chocolate too!  This chocolate recipe changing must stop!  It is getting out of hand and just as my family and friends were finally learning that Cadburys is the only chocolate I like!  What chocolate should I put on my birthday and Christmas list now?  Please stop the monstrosity that is changing the recipe!

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter,

Yours Disappointedly,

RW

'nuff said!  :-)

Gadgets and Widgets

Well, training for the Great North Run hasn't gone quite according to plan, but last night I did succeed in setting up the gadgets and widgets for tracking my training :-) I had refrained from getting sucked into the Nike and iPod combo, but the lure of glossy tech and the trendy adverts sucked me in and spat me out the other side, complete with green iPod Nano , Nike Shox Arraw trainers, a slick black'n'red Nike armband , Nike+ shoe widget thingy and a cool black-and-white shirt designed by a closet sci-fi costume designer*. Admittedly, the shirt is going to remain in the drawer for the time being as it currently emphasises my spare tyre and man boobs which, lets face it, isn't the prettiest site to be running round these parts. Then again, certainly not the ugliest, either! The calibration of the Nike kit was a bit annoying. After having calibrated for a 1.05 mile run I then tried to calibrate a walk for the same distance, only be told halfway around that the di

The final week in the run up to the South West Coast-to-Coast is here and, in less than a week, I will be starting my first UltraChallenge in order to raise money for Crohn's and Colitis UK . Since doing the massive 32 mile training walk a month ago, I have been able to get out for shorter walks once or twice a week, which have been steadily getting longer.   On Saturday, I managed 12.37 miles in a decent 3 hours 39 minutes, though with the wrong choice of shoes, which left me with blisters and sore feet.  It really made me appreciate how good my boot and sock combo is! Oh, and underwear.  Having walked in normal boxers and suffered the chafed consequences for a day or so, I ended up buying a couple of pair of SAXX Boxer Briefs .  I'm generally not one for buying expensive undies and feel that even £22 for 3 pair of boxers is somewhat extortionate.  However, if you want to feel like the family jewels are in good hands and you want to be able to shower after without feeling lik
