At times chocolate, in whatever shape or form isn’t the best confectionary for the work situation …. especially in this current very clement weather when smeared, melted chocolate on paperwork such as minutes of great import or urgent stationary orders is not really the “professional” look we like to go for …..
So our current confectionary of office choice are Tesco Butter Mintoes, nom, nom, nom!
Darrell in particular, finds them strangely comforting when there is a pressing and mahoooosive rush, bulk, confidential document shredding consignment to be done, especially as the end of term is looming and at time fraught ….
“They hit the spot every time” he says, when proffered one “And the sucking thereof thus helps to keep me calm and in a good place, as opposed to of all over the place and panicking robustly!” What is he like? But I have to admit that Tesco do make exceeding good butter mints, that don’t make the roof of your mouth sore if you suck too many!!!!
