Fry's Chocolate Cream

SP recently posted on the subject of Fry's Chocolate Cream bars and I commented that I could get them in my local New World Supermarket.  However the coffers were dry when I actually tried the next day.  A few days before Christmas, though, I managed to get some - I bought all they had left on the shelves at the checkouts which was the grand total of 5 bars.  Apparently they run out as soon as they come in.  So why not, I wonder, order more!  I see that they are specially imported ie they are not marketed by Fry in this country.  I'm strictly rationed (by myself) to two pieces per cup of coffee in the afternoon only.

Sweet As


One of the fridge magnets on Wendy and Martin's fridge is of one of the most-heard sayings in New Zealand.  It's not really regarded as slang but as a generally understood expression broadly used to describe something highly regarded “This concert is going to be sweet as!”  Pronounced sweet aas.  But sweet as what?  We shall never know.  

Sweet can also be used on its own to indicate general agreement, “I can meet you after work if you like,” “Sweet!”
