\"Weight<\/span>Chocolate knocking at your door<\/strong>? by Janice Taylor<\/a>
\nLast night, there was a knock, knock, knockin’ at my door. I opened the door … (first mistake).
\nThe Inn’s proprietor sent a little box of designer chocolates on a tray with a small amount of port to accompany it. Chocolate and Port! Knocking at my door!!!
\nSomehow or another, I forgot how to say “no, thank you.” It slipped my mind!! It wasn’t until after I’d finished the chocolate and the port that I remembered.
\nShould chocolate and port come knocking at your door, here is your guide to ‘no, thank you’ … no excuses now – for me either, I’ve got it all covered.
\nne hvala * Croatian
\nnej tak * Danish
\nnee dank u * Dutch
\nei kiitos * Finnish
\nnon merci * French
\nnein danke * German
\nno grazie * Italian
\nno grazie * Norwegian
\nn\u00e3o obrigado * Portuguese
\nnu multumesc * Romanian
\nno, gracias * Spanish
\nand when all else fails, try …
\nno, thank you * English
\nAt the end of the day, a small piece of chocolate and sip of port wasn’t a big deal.
\nAll is forgiven … Move On!!!<\/strong>
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
