This Could Be Bad News For Diana,

the price of cocoa may go up in the worst shortage for 40 years, the price of cocoa in London rose to £2,055 a ton this week, the highest since 1985, the rise is the result of poor harvests on the Ivory Coast, which grows 40 per cent of the world's cocoa beans, as well as trouble with supplies from other major growers, experts say this is likely to push up the cost of chocolate bars such as Mars Bars, Kit Kats and Dairy Milk and Diana as we all know loves chocolate! but it is not all doom and gloom in the chocolate world, look at this, a 12ft-high model of the Eiffel Tower made entirely out of chocolate it appeared at St Pancras railway station, from which the Eurostar departs for the French capital, the tower was constructed to mark the launch of a new range of Thorntons European city-chic inspired chocolates and will be touring stores throughout the country over the coming weeks, Keith Hurdman, Thorntons' Master Chocolatier, says: 'This is an exciting addition to the incredibly successful Continental range, and is sure to surprise and delight both our existing Continental lovers and those who have not tried it before', so a box of those will be on the top of my shopping list for Diana on my next trip to the UK!
