http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article323230.eceLife has never been quite the same for the retailers of Alderley Edge since the Cheshire village's big spenders David and Victoria Beckham left their £500,000 penthouse a few years ago and moved to Madrid.
The couple's luxurious legacy lingers, though, as the latest sell-out offering from its chocolate shop demonstrates.
A chocolate truffle sprinkled with 22-carat gold has proved so successful with residents of Britain's champagne capital that stocks have sold out before its official launch. Flecks of gold leaf on chocolate from Venezuela's fabled Hacienda Concepcion cocoa estate have been used to create the indulgent treat.
"The official launch was Friday but all the boxes are gone so we are selling them loose," said Paul Swindells, managing director of the Chocolate Trading Co, which is selling them at a price of £14.99 for 12.
