All I can say is that some people are very easily offended…Talk about petty!

You could be right there Conrad. Coincidentally, I just happened to find a further (smaller) bar of (nut free) chocolate in my travel bag today, but it’s still Cadbury’s. Can’t decide whether to save or savour…

Just don’t tell the customs guys!

I thought this was dead and buried! I’m just about to tuck into a nice bar of Cadbury’s Fruit and Nut chocolate that I brought back from the UK last weekend. Importing chocolate into Switzerland? What does that make me?

Why argue about “nut”? The train ride is spectacular! I’d unload the money if I were over there. Maybe I’m nuts. Who cares?

Mike, Thanks for your thoughts and support.

And hopefully one of my latest posts, on the Psychatric Museum in Bern hasn’t offended anyone

I’d like to commend you, Geoff, for taking a firm stance regarding this. In today’s vernacular, “crazy” doesn’t necessarily imply mental illness.

I, for one, am “crazy” about video games. I’m also “crazy” about chocolates, mangoes, and my new iPod. Am I mentally unstable? Not at all.

To ron and Lucy: I think you should get out more often. No offense meant, but you can’t take everything literally. If one says it’s “water under the bridge.” and said person is talking about past problems, it does not literally mean H2O under a structure that connects two land forms.

Good to know that “crazy” is not offensive

And to show there is no hard feelings, I hope you approve of today’s post about Adolf Wölfli, who clearly was mentally ill.
