Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

leaving aside that Colditz Story was a highly fictionalised version of a true story, perhaps MrT can enlighten us all about this (alleged) polish informer and what happened to him

Sometimes 42!

I think these were polished by the fashion informer.

Bit early for the Lambrini, eh Skinners?

Hils - as you mentioned it - I bought in Morrisons earlier, Lagunilla Rioja on offer £4.99 :-

Arthur Dent & Ford Prefect methinks skinny?

They saw you coming, Skinners. That stuff's only £3.00 a bottle in Lidl.... and the added anti-freeze is free!

Hils :-)

Harry - similar - deep thought ?

wine at £4.99 is about good enough for cooking and little else ...... i haven't done the maths, but the wine content must be barely 50p

Some will be used in 2 casseroles I'm making this weekend - but I'm sure I will indulge :-)

Its actually £12 in Tesco and Morrisons are limiting it to a tanker lorry per customer.

Tesco is a great exponent of the double the price for a few weeks and then claim it is half price. There have been official complaints about their games, but they are fairly careful to stick to the letter of the law.

Currently £12 inTesco

HaHa, love em. Hi Everyone. Sorry I don't often post. but love to read your offering's.

Hi Tanker.

Cannot think of a simpler explanation

3 give £10 = "a" is now - £10, "b" - £10, "c" - £10. "a" take's the money and pays the £25

= "a" now has the £5 he has saved by paying £25 instead of £30. and the net cost to him is £10 less the £5 he has paid Therefore "a" is now - £5, b - £10 c - £10.

"a" Repays £1 to b, and $1 to c

= "a" is now - £7, "b" - £9, "c" = £9 (9+9+7 = The £25 spent).

Only thing wrong is they were not brothers. or even friends.

Happy Easter 3m. Just seem like we have only had Christmas.

That would be a suitable cartoon for the last Labour government with their obsession with targets. The recent scandal of deaths in several trusts over a number of years has been blamed on the Labour imposed targets which were more important than care.

let's change the subject shall we ......

******* say they will in future only stock UK chicken
Oh really? ........ UK farms can no longer produce sufficient thanks to the supermarkets dumping them many years ago as they could buy cheaper abroad .... so how will ****** supply all these so-called UK chickens?

They won't; or at least they will assuredly NOT be UK-reared (from cradle to grave to put it a little crudely)!
Trade sources allege that most/many will be supplied ex Belgium thus having at least an EU stamp .... but will they have been reared in Belgium?
Almost certainly NOT
It seems that a very high %age are still brought in from F/E (Thailand) and other "interesting" countries and then just processed in Belgium, thus qualifying for the EU stamp ..... this is almost certainly the procedure that will be used by UK supermarkets

So, unless the label specifically states UK-reared, it is a racing certainty that it will not have been ...... how to con the customer yet again!

Deleted - wrong thread.
