That was poorly conceived. They'd have to keep those things stored somewhere for as long as the spy was active. What if a rat ate the last Mars bar at 6:00am?

Obviously HN always knows better, this reminds me of the Dropbox post.

There's a great book that covers every single aspect of this escape, "The Spy and the Traitor" by Ben Macintyre. Rest assured that the British embassy had plenty of Mars bars and Harrods bags for this signal!

  • I've read that the embassy folk have nothing to do most of the time so they spend months planning and preparing for this type of thing

Tell the rats that the Mars bars are off limits and they can stick to the Cadbury chocolates.
