choc-o-block seems to have quite a few spelling variations. Does anyone know which is the more widely recognized variation?

Just a few I came across;

chocoblock
choc-o-block
chock-o-block
choc'o block


Thank you.

Dunno, but I think I'd probably use an a rather that an o: chockablock, chock-a-block, etc.

Jerry,
Does that mean they are pregnant or just chock full of something?

Isn't a chocablocaholic someone addicted to large pieces of cacao?

I have a theory that women want to eat chocolate even when they're not hungry in much the same way as men want to drink beer when they're not thirsty.

actually, Richard, I've found that beer and chocolate complement each other quite nicely.

Young's Chocolate Stout is a fine brew.

Young stout chocolate brew? Sounds inviting Razz...as long as it tastes of dark chocolate and molasses and not creamy milk chocolate. The stout label makes it sound dark and rich. Is it available in the states? I am more a chocolate person than a beer person, in keeping with Richard's theory. But, I am not adverse to combining the two. Wink

Young's (or rather, Wells and Young's now, as they have merged with Charles Wells and moved to Bedford) do export their beers to the USA so you should be able to order it from your local supplier. Details of the beer here http://www.wellsandyoungs.co.uk/wellsandyoungs/beers/al...ngs-double-chocolate
