    Why did your eyes light up when you heard that you can spend your LVs in Wetherspoons? Was it the thought of all that free lager:rotfl:

    Just remembered something from earlier - I arrived at the chamber early today so went up to their cafe (its part of my membership) where I bought a mug of coffee for 75p (should have stayed downstairs and had a free one) but I noticed something silly on the packet of sugar.

    Ingredients: Sugar

    Warning: May contain Milk

    :confused::confused::confused: If the sugar packet contains sugar and its ingredients are sugar why would it contain milk?:confused:

    Yet another example of 'silly' legislation, H. :confused::confused:

    I remember going around the Christmas Market in Manchester - there was a chap selling hot chestnuts and there was an 'official sticker' on his stand stating that 'Products purchased here may contain nuts'.

    He only sold nuts. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I think the sun may have had too much happy potion Rog - he's staying in bed nursing his hangover.
    Just had a major downpour here.

    You've got to think of the people who can't read.

    So that's why they 'print' these warnings on packets. :think: :think:

    Now at least I know I'm not going to die a complete idiot. :o:o
