Caractacus was the Latin name given to a great British hero.

Why go with the Eyeties when you can go with the British! !wink!

Now hold on a moment here. During the 70's DD was an excellent tasting bar of choccy - although I have to agree with you that thesedays (like many other brands of chocs from our youth) it does have a horrid sweetly sickening taste to it. Fudgey will confirm what I'm on about.

What makes you think I'm named after the British hero? It might be a tribute to Dick Van Dyke's character in Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang.

I'm actually a tribute to Peter Bowles' portrayal of Caractacus in I, Claudius :-)
