I imagine that they've taken over the vacant premises of shops that failed to to make money.

Whittards don't sell chocolates. The shops do well because they have massive profit margins. People like nice chocolate and are prepared to pay over the odds for it. Once you ahve an acquired taste for good chocolate it is like a drug and anything else just doesn't taste as good.

Personally I think Thorntons and Hotel Chocolate aren't all that and prefer Artisan du chocolat and Paul Young, but these cost more. Paul Young taste amazing but at 22quid for 16 don't come cheap.

Well the problem with very high quality things is that there isn't so much competition so they can overcharge you a bit more.

I think redbag means 'Yorkie'. Although yorkies don't cost £2, do they? He's a postman. All that hard graft has an effect on their brains, sometimes.
