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.

Harry for PM. :-)) Harry, Harry!!!!!!!

No DC you cannot have a Royal as PM. :-)

lol

. Wrong thread.

A very decent bloke. :-)

Rosie's account now getting deposited several Bags of Sand from H.

DC - Your Harry looks very glum but I guess he will brighten up when he gets all the money.

Just a great character. :-))

Is the money tax free? :-))

that little matter has never worried him in the past if memory serves me right

He'll be launching his own brand of toiletries and perfumes soon. How about Redknappers sleeping solutions for insomniacs.

Food shopping/ groceries, do you do most of your shopping in one supermarket or do you shop in several different supermarkets?


Do you use local butchers/bakers/fishmongers?


Just curious.

me?
independent fishmonger/butcher and would rather buy bread from an indy baker, but unfortunately there is no longer a decent one in the town

vegetables and fruit almost by default one is now compelled to buy in the supermarket
fortunately my local sainsbury's is good for veg though not hot hot with their fruit but there's a very large and upper range waitrose a few miles away
i pretty much never buy from m&s as i think it severely o'priced

"vegetables and fruit almost by default one is now compelled to buy in the supermarket"

Not if there is an Organic local Box delivery service in your area, most good areas have them now.

prefer to choose my own and then i know what i'm getting
rarely know what i have in mind until i go into the shop

It depends if your taste buds know the difference in taste between futiliser food and real Organic local food.

"futilizer"?????

Yes it's food that has been sprayed with Chemical Fertilizers as opposed to food grown Organicly locally, apart from possible health concerns the taste (for example Carrots) are very noticeable.

agree with carrots and assuredly with newly dug potatoes
other than not liking the overuse of nitrates and pest controls etc, i don't think from a taste point of view it makes a lot of difference unless picked and eaten within a few hours - especially asparagus
