We’re all used to tinsel-infested TV ads starting in October, but in supermarketland the onset of the festive season provides no finer a visual feast than this aisle full of choccie assortments.

It’s a minor miracle of global buying power that Mars, Cadbury’s and Nestlé can let Asda give these away at a fiver each.
