20 bus stops and now this. Time hanging heavy?
Chocolate week seems to be nothing about chocolate and cheese sandwiches, or putting chocolate on your crisps - just poncy chocolate.
Love it.
Fair play to DG for putting the spotlight on those unsung heroes of the 'burbs and cheap end of High Street's: the corner shop and mini mart.

And I mean that sincerely.
Thanks for the giggles,DG. I needed that this morning,as I seem to be developing my first cold of the season. 😕
Signed- a lady who doesn't care for chocolate.
The Very Best of E3's Most Unique Finest Bespoke Authentic Artisanal Chocolate. Ever.
I expect the local Mondelez rep will be very pleased with you, DG.
Plain chocolate Bounty for lunch today!
Love it. Did a quick search of the locations - forget Mayfair, I thought, let's go for Tower Hamlets .... "Nothing Found". By the way can you still get Star Bars? Now there was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Chapeau!
Jagdamba News at Monument station: Double Decker is 90p. Not exactly a bargain but conveniently located at the Westbound platform.
There are several exploitative Double Decker vendors in central London, especially at stations.
Excellent. I hope your PR agency is pushing this far and wide.
Excellent spoof!
Should you find yourself south of the river, then my I commend to the Co-Operative store in The Village, Charlton.
4 Double-Deckers for the bargain price of one pound.
That said, I must point out that the size of the bar is a mere 47 grams, as opposed to the usual 54 grams -- a decrease of over 10 percent.
This is no doubt an effort by the confectionery industry to battle the obesity plague afflicting this country.
Hahaha! I can just picture you popping in to check the price of Double Deckers and leaving again.
Just as well it's not Cadbury's Creme Egg season or you could have simultaneously become pounds heavier while being pounds lighter!
Cornish Cockney - how do you know he left empty handed - maybe he bought Double Deckers and bars of Cadburys chocolate in each shop
Disappointed that the Co-op next to Kit[K]at Terrace E3 did not make it onto this list.

Now have the strongest urge for a Double decker.
For the entire hazelnut and nougat filled chocolate week, bus stop M becomes bus stop mmmmmm
Clearly all those marketing and PR E-Mails have had an effect! Anyway your caustic analysis of E3 Chocolate Heaven made me chuckle which is the main thing.

One of my local corner shops buys Lidl's own brand chocolate bars and then resells it for nearly twice the price. I fell for it once, never again.
Please get a job. And quick.
"This is somewhat embarrassing, isn't it?" is the automatic message from Chocolate Week website when I went there looking for E3 events. "Yes" came the resounding reply.
Not only Chocolate week, a flyer from Iceland reminded me it was National Curry week as well. Oh gorgeousness and gorgeosity!
@ Mike - Star Bars are readily available in Peterborough!
Now living in the US I recently visited the UK to find that Cadbury Milk Chocolate in the UK tastes differently, comes in small bars lacking any sensual appeal. I tried a diminutive TIFFIN bar to find it contained biscuit but no raisin or sultana and it's all made in Ireland now? Terry's of York vanished years ago and their product is now made in Poland. Are there any British Chocolate manufacturers left?
Never seen a Double Decker Duo bar before. Surely there's a missing pun on two double deckers turning up at once to be had.
One of the sad things is that Chocolate Week used to be a really interesting week (with lots of participants, all around the country). We went several really enjoyable events involving chocolate and alcohol, as well as various talks, tastings, even complete chocolate-themed meals.

Now all there is is the Chocolate Show (which seems to be an expensive opportunity to spend more money on top of the ticket price) and a pop-up near Borough Market...
Disappointed that City Supermarket at 462 Roman Rd doesn't make the cut.
Excellent, I await the publishing of the free invitation to cadbury world theme park {wherever that might be} soon on this blog, whilst on the subject of double decker , any thoughts in to the changing texture of the previously mentioned sweetie, I recall that it was much denser at the beginning with a corm flake type texture {Yum Yum}, and now it seems more rice krispy filled with all that useful free air entrained within saving costs and extra chocolate
Any sign of the return Mondelez's profiteering Halloween product, the Ghooost Egg? It's essentially a Creme Egg with no yolk, but saves them the additional cost of the green food colouring of its predecessor, the Screme Egg.
"There are several exploitative Double Decker vendors in central London, especially at stations."

That'd be W H Smiths then. 95p or thereabouts. What a rip-off, and without even the excuse that they don't have the buying power of the majors, what with them being one.
I find it comforting that I immediately got the point of this post. My transformation from an ugly American to a wanna-be Brit is well and truly under way.
Central London shops charge more because they can. I know little about Double Deckers, but I've noticed that items I buy from Marks & Spencer for lunch at work are more expensive in the Kings Cross or Liverpool St branches than at my local branch. These shops do of course have higher costs; rent, rates etc. The moral is, if you can, buy your lunch, and Double Deckers, locally.
Definitely misread that last sentence as "snark local!" - which seems more appropriate!
I'm very late to this particular party, but I just wanted to register my enjoyment of the phrase "wistful Curly Wurly".

I like it, and want to use it more.
