Thanks to my old work colleagues back in Ludlow, at Christmas, I gained a small glass jar with some chocolate coins in as a silly Christmas present. It sat on my desk there for several months(with the coins slowly decreasing in number) and has migrated Ooop North with me. I have had to replenish the contents a couple of times, mainly because I use the coins as bribery / rewards for my current colleagues for helping me with IDs.
Over the last couple of months, I've been hunting for a new source of coins but none of the sweet shops in Liverpool sold them. Or at least not nice ones. I have finally had some success. Not with actual shops but I've found a source online.

The question is, just how many chocolate coins am I allowed to buy in one go? Especially as I'd just be tempted to eat them if I keep the spares at home. And if I keep the spares at work, then someone else will eat them if I'm not around....
But, yay! I can replenish the chocolate coin hoard. :-)
