However, the tubs of chocolates have been, for many years, associated with Christmas which seems to start earlier every year.

The usual pattern is for them to appear just inside the entrance at Tesco and eventually they'll move to the ends of aisles close to all the other seasonal delights complete with Christmas merchandising.

I suppose it's a comparatively low key start to the annual binge but more seasoned shoppers recognise it for what it is.

Anyway, the temperature this weekend is forecast to rise to 29C/84F.

Melted chocolate anyone?
