Quality Street

So I'm procrastinating at work... fie on me :P One of my co-workers just passed around a box of Quality Street :) He passed his driving test on the first attempt which is no mean feat in the UAE and now he's getting a VW! In Dubai they fail you on purpose especially if you're brown... people prefer taking the test in Sharjah or Abu Dhabi. Another random car law: you can't buy a car older than five years! This is ostensibly to "promote" the auto industry in the UAE... what about the not-s0-rich people? I won't say poor because people are generally pretty well-off.. still.  

I love Quality Street! I just realized how much I missed it in the US (along with Mars bars, real Cadbury and Galaxy...). Ridiculous how they don't have Mars in America! A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play... cheesy, but it works!
