British Prime Minister Gordon Brown presented a pack of No. 10 chocolates to a lucky nurse in London, the elated woman said.

Nurse Zoe Broadhead said the British official personally gave her a box of the after-dinner mints, known for the No. 10 drawing on each wrapper, as a house-warming gift when she moved into a new housing development in London, the Daily Mail reported Saturday. The number refers to the prime minister's office address, 10 Downing St.
"Mr. Brown didn't say anything about the chocolates. He just handed them to me as he came into the room," Broadhead said.
"He asked me about my decorating plans and joked about the colors I was going to paint my walls. The chocolates were a nice present, though I haven't eaten any of them yet."
Designed by businessman John Harrap, 300 boxes of the specialty candies were delivered to the prime minster's office at 10 Downing Street to be dispersed to lucky civil servants, the Mail reported.
