    Go back to the pub and wait for the next one. I don’t see them as cancellations, just opportunities for more entertainment.

    Not seen one of these for years, but just seen an advert for a magazine series for a build your own kit, week by week.

    This one was a Dalek. First issue £2, regular price £12. Completes in 140(!) issues.

    That's £1670. For that price, it better be able to vapourise my neighbour's annoying dog.

    People who didn’t properly rate Ian Ashbee LOL
    He could pass a ball neatly not expansively but effectively and hold possession when it was useful .

    Going to see my daughter in Anlaby this morning.i popped into Sainsbury’s to buy her some flowers ,I presented five bunches of Daffodils to the lady on the till to be told “ sorry I cannot sell you them they are out of date “
    Me “I was going to put them in a vase not eat them “
    Lady “ even so th3 till will not accept the bar codes as 5hey are out of date “
    Called over the manager to see what could be done ,after a bit of backwards and forwards I got nine bunches for two pounds .
    They were simply too good to be put in a bin crikey we really are a wasteful society.

    I volunteer with a charity that collects surplus stock from various food manufacturers, supermarkets, farms etc. It is then distributed amongst various charities who use it to support all sorts of needy people. We regularly collect flowers from Sainsburys.
    So you bartering the price down has deprived some deserving folk of seeing flowers on their table once in a while. Shame on you! :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I buy my daughter one, always have done, call her my mini valentine and always joke I better be the only one to get her one, I’ll probably stop when she’s a bit older , but she’s chuffed to get some chocs or a teddy .can assure you it is all innocent and I don’t see why anyone would think anything sinister of it . Each to their own though

    Had a similar experience with a bag of broken biscuits once. I found a complete biscuit in the bag and complained. Got my money back. That’ll show em, no flies on me.
