    Euston new weatherspoons

    Avanti West Coast First Class

    Afraid not - I’ve certainly not seen them or been offered them, I think they have replaced them with the marbled chocolate fancy word for a small thin block of white and milk chocolate imo they are tasteless the packaging is better than the chocolate itself - I’m a big fan of uglies I used to...
