Just realised in horror that we have all broken one of the cardinal rules of this thread, viz:
All references to exactly who poster a is and whether poster b actually used to post under a different name, are likewise BANNED.
We must leave fellow posters identities discreetly under their various wigs, treliac-masks etc, and continue as we were.
I think some chocolate is called for.
I HAVE NONE. :eek: :eek: :eek:
Can anyone remedy this terrible situation for me?
Did you all have a lovely weekend?

Okay carolt, we'll obey the rules.
I'd let you have some of my chocolate, but can't get it to you sadly. Have you a local supermarket that's open. How about Sainsbury's or Morrisons? They'll still be open.
Do you know, I always wondered why this smiley wasn't on the 'easy access' menu in the first place..... it's the generic and original one after all. 0 -
Is this an open question, or are you after my specific opinion on the matter?i wouldn't do that - it was nothing bad
