I like figs and walnuts
What's not to like about that Fluffers?
I got given a fig tree for my birthday last year, I'm hoping for a bumper crop this year 
Sorry Rexi, but I HATE figs and don't like walnuts, or nuts in chocolates unless it's a praline.

I'm with you except I don't even like pralines either
Have you tried PRUNE JUICE
It's lovely - just like raisins
In chocolates?
Opened the first Thorntons Chocolate Kabin shop in October 1911 on the corner of Norfolk Street and Howard Street in Sheffield
Now you are going to ask me if it's still there.

That's very spooky. I travel down/up Barnsley Road every day to work and back. Swanbourne runs parallel. Not a great area of Sheffield. My hand is always on my Walther PPK until I have passed through. 
I normally have m'hand on m'Beretta as soon as I've left the M1 and joined Penistone Road but.
Beretta/Walther PPK - my Mum always warned me to keep my hand on my ha'penny.
Yes that's one of m'wife's sayings. See also the rather worrying, "My Mum says we are sitting on a gold mine!"
That was one of my mum's favourite sayings too .....took me back 40 years
