Decoy Tin

Up at the station someone left us a tin of Quality Street chocolates to share; very kind thank you.

Other brands of chocolates in tins are available.

I say share........

Now within a minute of these being found Operation Decoy had commenced. Basically transfer all the decent choccies out of the tin such as The Purple One and the Toffees, and leave all the ‘less well liked’ Strawberry Crèmes, Coffee Yuks, and Coconut Bluhs in the tin- now known as the ‘decoy’ tin. Phase 1 complete.

The Decoy Tin

Phase 2.
Everyone turns up to training and on seeing the decoy tin of choccies tucks in. There’s some minor disquiet about the good ones having been eaten but they crack on and have a couple five or six until they are stuffed.

Brian has a few more .
(He informs us that he's wearing a thick jumper and is not on a diet until his family finish off all the Christmas goodies – apparently there is still Yule log in the cupboard at the Craker’s place).

Brian 'Testing' the chocolate.

Phase 3.
Once satisfied that they have troughed all they can eat..... the decent choccies are revealed to the team.

Phase 4.
Lots of good natured verbal abuse aimed in our direction while we eat the top chocolates; Job done.





In other news, Brian has confirmed that Big Brian might make an appearance at Swanage Carnival; we do hope so. (Readers that is not a euphemism, we mean his younger big brother).

In other other news, Austen is sick. (That's ill, not depraved).

In other other other news, the rest of the chocolates have been hidden from Austen.They are definitely not in the cupboard under the sink, behind the cleaning stuff. (Phew! I think i've thrown him off the scent- there's no way he'll look there).
