Crikey!
You really hit the jackpot there. LPGS - yeah, fair enough but chocolates from F??? Half the time I've never even seen the chocolates, and when I have I've mostly been encouraged to take 'a couple'.

This is the kind of post best suited to that frightful facebook group.

I had a box of chocolates presented with my tea in F on the DFW flight a few weeks back.
I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to do with it, so I exercised restraint and only ate a couple.
Think I fell asleep after that, so no idea what happened to the rest of them.

What a lovely gesture from the crew. They must have liked you! But maybe not the best idea to post it all over the interweb as I doubt crew are actually allowed to do that, unless it was for 'service recovery'?
On the occasions in my past when a bottle of BA's finest bubbles may have landed in my hand luggage unopened (from the crew), it came with a request to please keep it to myself as it's not allowed by the company. No clues as to which year or flights I'm talking about.

We got back to BOS from having a wedding ceremony in BLR and were on F from LHR to BOS, when the CSD noticed that the missus had henna on her hands which lead to a polite inquiry about whether she attended a wedding in the Indian subcontinent (the sensitivity that she showed towards us was so remarkable).
An hour before landing, the CSD came by my seat (the other half was still napping) and gave me the same box of chocolates and a card signed by the entire cabin crew. Needless to mention that I was extremely chuffed by the gesture. Unfortunately neither of us are golds, otherwise we would have definitely given out a Golden Ticket. Nevertheless, the requisite "ThankYou's" have been submitted.
Edit: For the record, what got me to be giddy was the card rather than the box of chocolates.

Wonderful gesture. I've left F flights too clutching a white bag with a bottle of LPGS inside, and another time a bottle of Chablis. Not for many years though so either they are cutting back, or I haven't charmed the crew like I used to.

Rude man - I made it out of one of Him Indoor's old police shirts. I even washed it first, and then to get rid of the blood as I am not a natural needlewoman (Arial and Vanish make a heady concoction in my Bosch) - but I'll bet his bottle, his chocs, and HIDDY's underdone sausage that I'm better than you.
Did he wear it on Facebook - or did you sneak a peek at Mrs Oxon Flyer's?

I see the photo has gone but it did remind me that I need a new ironing board cover.
