None in our local Sainsburys. They havent had any for days. Same with our local Tesco. They said they just havent been getting them in.
Quality Street is piled ceiling high though.
Our larger Tesco out of town store hasnt had them on lately either. Has anyone else who prefers Roses had trouble getting hold of a tin?

Well done on resisting chocolate all year - wow - I think I'll have to join you in 2013 with no choc in the house as I'm useless at stopping ... if it's there, I'll nibble, even though I don't really want it.

Ive been depressed and off my food for personal reasons which ive discussed on another board. Anyhow because of it ive lost six pounds since the start of the month so maybe somone somewhere is trying to tell me something.
A smaller box of Lindor then i reckon.

No tins except Quality Street to be had in Sainsburys, Tesco or Asda around here - no Roses, Celebrations or Heroes!

Loads in our local Morrisons. I presumed they weren't selling since the tins have shrunk and the price hasn't. Grin

I went to asda today to get some roses or Hero's (Cadbury) I thought I just couldn't find them.

I laughed out loud Blush in sainsbury today as i spied the tins and tins AND tins of quality street that was left, my sister had this face Xmas Confused I just said oh erm nobody likes QS she just walked away from me

I'm going to alert Cadbury to this thread to ask what's going on (very important issue). I spoke to my Mum earlier about it, she's just called back to say she's managed to get some quality street, obviously missing the point completely.

I have emailed cadbury Grin, I'm supposed to be getting the dcs dinner sorted but feel this is far more important, it's just not Christmas without feeling sick from too many strawberry creams, in fact it only takes one strawberry cream to feel a bit sick doesn't it?

Crikey, where in the UK is this 'Roses' shortage? It must be a regional thing thankfully Our local Coop has hundreds of tins £5 each. YUM. Grin

Why would you want Roses, when QS are the ones with the yummy green triangles?
