    Ugh,I can't abide Marge! My Dad calls it "I can't believe it's not axle grease".LOL!!!!

    Well margarine doesn't actually look like that. It comes out of the process a grey colour. It's dyed yellow to make it look more like butter. It's also refrigerated to fool people into thinking it's more like butter. Margarine doesn't actually need to be refrigerated, because it's only dumb humans who will eat the stuff.

    Nasty stuff...

    I agree with Lou, Luc! When you feel up to it and ready pack little man up and go! Tell us where and we'll meet you. DH would love it-he thought you and hubbles were really great (and DH is always shy when he meets people and takes a while to warm to them normally)

    We can do a DFW camping weekend! Pepe, me and Snags and Spudly all have the gear that I know of! It'd be GREAT!

    They don't seem to take any responsibility for it. I even tried my brother's friends at a knockdown rate, they've sold for £10-£15 each on Ebay. *sigh* Better than nothing though.

    I agree as well Gem-that is an underhand thing to do. Hope they sell.
