Wow What A Service !!!
I placed my order with you last Friday and it was delivered today. Wow - what service. I found your site by accident.

In future if this is the level of service you provide I will be using your site for all my sweetie orders. The sweets are great.

Well done and thankyou for restoring my faith in mail order.

whatever happened to texan bars?

Remember the advert on TV? A Clint Eastwood style cowboy in a spot of bother, captured by some sombrero wearing outlaws. One asks the cowboy, "A last request gringo?"

The cowboy asks for a Texan bar. He chews on it laconically (love that word!) and it takes him so long to eat it that the baddies fall asleep and he escapes!

texan bars

"Texan... sure is a mighty chew."

Texans made a very brief, limited edition re-appearance in 2005 but we fear they have now gone for good.

love our cartoons?

They’re drawn especially for us by superstar cartoonist Colin Whittock.

He used to work on Whizzer and Chips - the comic that inspired the look of A Quarter Of...

His cartoons appear all over the website. Aren't they fab???
