:wave: GG & Mr GG

MWCx

:hello: Right back at you hun (well, Mr GG says but that's another story) :rotfl:.

Sitting having a cup of Lady Grey tea, one of my two 'UK' things - my fave cereal is the other . Off to neighbours for dinner later :T, fortunately only a few yards away as Mr GG has a blister and he's not very brave .

What's your favourite cereal?

Fond memories of visiting Mallorca as a child and being greatly amused by our very English neighbours who pretty much refused to eat anything that wasn't a UK brand

THIS one . In my defence, I first found it in my local indie Spanish supermarket then tracked it down in the UK (Waitrose and possibly Asda). Occasionally I pop into the big Iceland in the next town (there's a great 'Chinese shop' next door I use quite a bit) and it amazes me to see folk buying their main shop there. So expensive as it's all imported :eek:. The Spanish do like clean clothes as well as British, their soap powder does actually work, no need to but Ariel at twice the UK price (and with no BOGOF's :eek:). Not at all like UK Iceland's, it's actually a lovely bright and clean store, more like a supermarket than frozen food place. I'm obviously a snob though as I like to dive in and out as quick as possible - don't want to be seen in there - though I always see someone I know :rotfl:.

He's not been there yet. I think the trauma of getting a blister was too much for him .

I am secretly a little disappointed that it wasn't Coco Pops :rotfl:

I do not think that our shopping habits would be wildly different if we retired to the sun (Greece is always calling). Suspect it would be 70% Lidlos supplemented with local baker and markets.

I chuck all sorts of things in my porridge nowadays - don't really want the toasted version. Currently its pumpkin seeds, linseed, peanut butter and organic honey. With Sainsbo Basics cornflakes, I like the texture :rotfl:

I know what you mean about not wanting to be seen in Iceland "I'm not that person" - but now that Sainsbo put their frozen veg on offer its the same price as Iceland, and Iceland don't even sell feta any more at my shop - and that and veg are all I'm prepared to buy there, their chilled food tastes disgusting tbh even when the ingredients seem wholesome ...

Give me a Spanish supermarket any day :T Yum.

Well as I have said before - GG and her poetic licence!!

Going to have to balance the books - male ego and all that, you understand! So please forgive the next couple of posts .....

PS - GG is out playing and invariably meeting new friends; fair play to her. I am enjoying relaxing on the terrace and hijacking her thread

He's asleep :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hang on a minute ........

When you said I was at the airport and KC mistook it for me having arrived (hello KC :wave:) you did nothing to dispel it was me leaving ME.

I think I am entitled to a wee sleep after 30hrs with none
