    Down your Dairy Milk and prick up your ears. I’m going to ask you to eschew that sweet milky marvel made with a full ‘glass-and-a-half’. For, when it comes to choc, black is the new tan.

    Tuesday April 23rd, 2013

    I like a product that speaks to me. Some softly whisper, beckoning from the shadows with crooked finger, whilst others get under your skin with enigmatic enticements to indulge. Pistonhead just bellows at you, hits you round the head with a sledgehammer, and drags you back to its cave.

    Saturday April 6th, 2013
