Chris Rea refuses to eat Snickers.

Whenever he goes back in time he buys a box of Marathon bars. Interestingly, whenever he flushes the TURDIS toilet the poo from this historic snack materialises in the time from which it originated.

He also enjoys a Topic Bar, but his first version of the advert song was rejected, apparently “What has a hazelnut in every bite, Squirrel Shoot” was against ASA regulations

Chris Rea's seat belt campaign slogan, "tough s**t, every trip" was deemed catchy but inappropriate.

The slogan was changed to "clunk click, every trip" and Jimmy Savile was hired to give some real gravitas to the campaign.

Where did you read that? Don't believe everything you read on the internet, like err...
The name change of Marathon to Snickers was pivotal for Chris Rea. He ate so many Marathon bars that his health was beginning to suffer. But when the name was changed he found them repulsive and hasn't touched one since.

He can't eat walnut whips ' , without Handing madame Cythina Payne many Luncheon vouchers ( LV ), and being administered by said madam Whiplash, in tastefull mink lined hand cuffs and being 'corrected' with a studded leather paddle,
It's one of his guilty pleasures he has to endure, for being a rogue time traveller
