What a hero!

High time such plastic packaging reverted to that seen back in the 1970s and 1980s.

Metal tins were so much nicer and could easily be recycled from home without the need for a specialist processing centre.

It would be wonderful to see some of the old brands again too, rather than the 'Big 4' - Quality Street, Roses, Celebrations, & Heroes.
