THE special relationship between Britain and the United States has never looked more secure. But we have uncovered a scandal which threatens to sour the friendship.

At Terry's factory in York they have pioneered a new version of the legendary Chocolate Orange, in raspberry flavour. But it is only available in America.

That is not on. We demand the chance to scoff this delicacy - and chocolate mangoes, guavas and kiwi fruits should they ever roll off the production line. And until we can, we blow a chocolate raspberry in Terry's general direction.
