That's why it's called Boxing Day immediately after Christmas - they start getting the boxes of Easter eggs out.

That's about right, isn't it Primus?
It's not even cream, it's some horrible gloopy sickly mess nowadays.
Oh, and have you noticed that the legendary Walnut Whip is now just called a 'Whip' - for fear of people who are allergic to nuts, er, eating one?!
Nanny state everywhere we look. Gee, it's swell to be looked after by our government, isn't it?

Sorry bud, that was some mean digression!

I have to admit I don't think they'd put them away, the scene of Easter eggs next to Christmas decorations was rather odd.
