"That's the last".
As the cobbler said when he hit his wife.
I am, currently, living on a "Sine Wave". Recently I've been in a Trough, just starting to emerge. When we were two, there was a packet of sweets, usually, but not exclusively, these. If Al felt like one, they were issued; if I got a back-of-the-thoat tickly cough they were issued.
This pack was well on  its way out at start of December. Token to either:-
How much was Al's doing.
OR
How much driving I've done since, it's taken until now to see off the last. I can't, hand on heart, say whether they will or will not be replaced.
Probably intermittently.
