    I'm still working my way through substantial amounts of AF stuff which is in the garage, though I would order again if there was any juice. For me that is what makes it worthwhile- as it means the weight of my order justifies the alternate courier and I think the juice is one of the best bargains for my family. They did say they were moving- hence the warehouse clearance last week- and I hope that when they have more rooom it will be back to business as usual for them.

    Talking of drinks they have the v8 tropical juice and carrot- 4 cartons for £1. I've ordered a stack of it as I think it is really nice and everyone likes juice with their breakfast. I can't bring myself to buy it in the shops any more at full price, so its only when its on AF that we get it.

    The V8 stuff tastes nice, just looks odd! I think it probably does anyway lol

    got an email repsonse today and then a few hours later my order

    sadly out of stock on a few of my favoured items but overall i'm happy, the coke is a nice treat at about half the normal price :T only dissapointment there is it's from somewhere that looks russian or slavic and no coke zone points but still tastes good!

    I don't know what it is like normally. But my kid are teenagers and quick to complain- though I think it is fair to say their attitudes to BB dates have changed. Anyway, its been v popular.

    We like the V juice - it's sharp but very rich flavour and tastes fine.

    The V8 juice is really nice, nothing wrong at all with my first carton. Those german sausage tins must be huge, oddly though it says they are 5 kg but they come up as 7kg in the basket, two of those and that's half your box! :eek:

    Does anybody know if I can buy something from AF and have it sent to an address other than my own?

    There's been nothing new added at all since last week, that's very unusual. Are they still trading :confused:

    I tried to order some of the 500ml bottles of Coke last weekend - they show as a whole 1kilo each (unless Approved Foods have changed it) so be careful folks....

    BUT - the Club Lemon - Twin Pack - 2x2 Litres (2 x 2 litres of water weighs 4k, or did when I was at school) weighs in at 3.5kgs according to AF.......
