    Fir the non-dieters out there ...BP has Mars bars for 10p . You need to get a code emailed or texted to you, and then you can buy 10 bars with the code.

    Today I used the '£1 off when you spend £4 on cheese' voucher from the price drop mag x 2.

    Look out on the deli counter, there is some cheese which is on special offer £4.50 kg so £3.50 with the voucher and don't forget chocolate Philadelphia is cheese and bogof at £1.62.

    On another note sorry to be cheeky and ask but if anyone has a Cravendale milk code can I have it pretty please?

    As Frequent replied - 5 working days but you can pay a fee & get it quicker......



    Agree - 14 days to refund someone (if you've cleared your PP acct out) :o



    Our lovely neighbour Elwyn has returned from his holiday in Cuba so it's fat cigars & white rum around his at the moment. He knows what his priorities are ;) They are supposedly dismantling a dining table :cool: :rotfl:

    Pay a fee? PAY A FEE?:eek::eek::eek: no chance, they rip you off with a smile every other way so I refuse to give them anything extra!

    Dismantling a table.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Prices gone up since my last trip there and didn't realise that allowances had dropped. A woman on the way home said that I was only allowed 800 ciggies now and I got 2000. Didn't get stopped at customs though, I was well stressed by that point lol
    The woman was wrong, Altojack.

    The 800 figure she quoted is only the number where the Customs guys start asking questions; e.g. how many? are the all for your own use? how many trips have you made this week/month/year? etc.

    You can bring back whatever you like from an EU country as long as you have paid the tax/duty in that country.

    http://www.heathrow-airport-guide.co.uk/dutyfree.html
    When travelling from the EU* to the UK you do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods you have bought in another EU country as long as tax was included in the price when you purchased the items, the items are for your own use, and have been transported to the UK by you. This includes gifts, but does not include any item that is intended to be used as payment or to be resold.
    If you bring back large quantities of alcohol or tobacco, a Customs Officer is more likely to ask about the purposes for which you hold the goods. This will most likely be the case if you appear at the airport with more than:
    • 800 cigarettes
    • 400 cigarillos
    • 200 cigars
    • 1 kg of smoking tobacco
    • 110 litres of beer
    • 10 litres of spirits
    • 90 litres of wine
    • 20 litres of fortified wine e.g. port or sherry
    1666_istock_000005774432small.jpg* The EU countries currently include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus (Greek part), Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Irish Republic, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (but not the Canary Islands), Sweden and the United Kingdom (but not the Channel Islands).
    All that said, HMRC don't like anyone taking the P, so any big (unusual) amounts will get questioned.

    Last ciggie - 28/01/2012 :dance:

    If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold.
