    The Jacques is back in Bradford, the price label said REG on it so it must be a regular thing now, lord knows where it is coming from at the price though!

    Also a 6 pack of the Walkers 'pick us a winner' crisps for 59p (You have to try them at least once :rotfl:), and I picked up a random liquid candy sweet for 39p which is like a mini light saber as it lights up! They had various colours available, they'll keep your kids entertained, well it kept me entertained anyway!

    LOL - at Johntea

    Has anyone seen the Thornton bars mishapes recently?

    I got a pack about a month ago from Bletchley, and have been suffering withdrawal symptoms ever since - even had to buy a full priced bar yesterday!
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
