Mmelindt I do not seem to be abl to see your link.

Glad I gaught you though, My parents came last week end with a "marmite de l'Escalade that they had bought at the duty free shop. When they passed the last checking before the plane, the airport security opened it and took the little "esplosive" paper thing that are in some of the sweets!

I am at the idea someone would try to hijack a plane with one of these!!!

Hey, Gorionine. Coop have a new website and it is pretty hopeless at the moment. I was amused by the bread called

Free from Brot Hell



LOL at the paper explosives being confiscated at the airport. Hope they only took the papers and left you the yummy sweeties.

LOL at the bread!

Yes, they left the sweets and their faboulously entertaining and philosophycal wrapers! Still cannot bring myself to brake the marmite though!

I love the philosophy. This year mine said

"L'amour ne pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi". Honore de Balzac

Much better than the "Why did the chicken cross the road..." jokes in Christmas crackers.

Get that Marmite eaten. I will help

Thanks MmeLindt, help very much appreciated to have the courage to breake it. I am afraid that for the eating bit we already have a long list of candidates!
