If we're drifting onto cakes it has to be Victoria sponge in M&S's cafe. Or warm fruit scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam. I do make spectacular mince pies as well, due mainly to their high alcoholic content.

No, I mean crumpets.
Pikelets are a more Scottish pancake type configuration and therefore inferior.
Crumpet.
Pikelet.
Feck me, after nearly four years, I've eventually managed to post some pictures. I'll be adding up without my abacus next.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Not strictly chocolate but sold in the chocolate bar section - can anyone remember "Nutty"s? They had stiff fudgy-caramel inside and were covered with peanuts on the outside. I think they has a brown wrapper and yellow "Nutty" writing.
My absolute favourite of all time, but I can't find them Googling .
I'm sure all those happy hours weren't a figment of my imagination. I used to alternate them with Texans.

And I've just remebered Fry's Five Centre's (utter bliss, but tragically obsolete, just like McNamara's options) - only the peppermint version has survived
Illustrated here with some other old friends:

Pimped snacks drop down menu to League tables is probably the best place to start.
A truly spectacular waste of human ingenuity.

Cheese.
Used to love cheese when it was available.

The shop at the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes is the answer - counter with lots of free samples, my favourite being Wensleydale with Cranberry - very nice. Also, Asda's Extra Special Vintage Somerset Cheddar is excellent. Cheese Strings are available everywhere AFAIK. Bit difficult to get the industrial strength plastic off for you, I expect.
