NOW CLOSED GNers needed to be part of The Chocolate Forum

"We can't say too much at the moment but in brief this will involve working with Kinnerton confectionery and Mumsnet/Gransnet over the next year to help develop ideas for new chocolate products as well as discussing their current ranges (there may also be some taste testing involved too!)"

What a great job to have!

Just a thought, dairy free chocolate can be such a hard thing to come by, depending on what shops you have near by and it usually contains soya. A third of all dairy allergy sufferers also have a soya allergy. Gap in the market there.

What is GN Research panel. Something else I've missed. [blue]

not [blue] - I keep doing that too.

I was wondering that too Kitty

I have just had a look at the form to fill in, and perhaps I am being picky, but on question 15 Who lif anyone currently lives with you in your household - there is no box for husband/wife. Right at the top is 'partner', then right at the bottom is 'other'. I have lived with my husband for 61 years, so o.k. we are partners, but marriage is an institution, not to everyones taste, but still here! Perhaps a place for 'spouse' (a good old fashioned word) could have been found? Put me right off.

Any idea what proportion of couples are married these days? Perhaps there are more 'partners' than 'spouses'? Wouldn't have done any harm to put spouse/partner would it?

Quite Movedalot. No idea what proportion of couples are married these days, but we are still around, so it is nice to be recognised as such.

I was slightly put out by that but going for the chocolate won

I'm far too busy carrying out my own intensive chocolate survey!

I've signed up. It could be interesting. Certainly hope there is lots of chocolate.

Regarding the survey, it doesn't bother me what they call it - spouses, partners, husbands, wives, whatever.

I changed my mind after seeing the form ,did they really need all that information? I am not a grumpy grannie

Quite honestly, janthea I am not usually one who takes exception to things, I am the sort who normally says 'as long as you call me in time for tea' sort of thing, but for some reason this really got to me. Probably having a bad day, but really can't remember! Anyway, had my say and felt better for it.

I don't understand why they need such in depth information about us, its only tasting chocolate - not joining MI5 !! ! ithink its just an easy way of collecting data.

I don't care as long as I get to eat chocolate

Has anyone been selected yet?

phoenix I've not heard anything so far.

Maybe they are too busy trying out the Chocolate lucky things.

I haven't had any chocolate either.

And, I still don't know what the GN Research Panel is. I've checked on my profile and I've ticked that I would like to be on some sort of a panel but have never been asked to do anything that wasn't open to all.

There is a comment up there from Shelby:

- I know the best source for dairy free, soya free, gluten free, sugar free, additive free-from chocolate. 75% cacao - it's good for you! It's the best medicine going! It's so satisfying you only need a little at a time too. Or, because it's sooooo good (flavours of peppermint, lemon, orange, lime, ginger and plain).
Hand made with love, raw organic chocolate. Just the best!

filled in request a while ago - got very excited but haven't heard since - does that mean I didn't "pass" !!

Who is Shelby, Annieavr? and why are they telling us that they know a source for this wondrous chocolate product? Are they advertising it?

I looked at the signing up form. They wanted an awful lot of information. I backed out.

Happy with Swiss white cooking chocolate at the mo anyhow.

I didn't mind the questions. I've got nothing to hide . I hope I get picked.
