So this World Chocolate Day (Tuesday 7 July), we’re celebrating the local businesses putting the sweet in sweet tooth.

Let’s be honest — there’s nothing more satisfying than spotting a designer dress with the tags still on, only to discover it costs less than your Friday night takeaway. The dopamine hit is REAL.
