Agree on the shops. There's a small Dutch restaurant in one of the back strrets, near to the municipal gardens. They do a cracking Nasi croqeutte - one of the best outside of Holland.

plenty of eating out places , almost too many and fair play theres are always folks handing out leaflets offering % off meals etc .
we haven't visited this year ...but theres still time .
Just off to google dutch restaurants close to muni gardens .

Much as I love Manchester, there's still nothing that can beat being back home; especially in Wales.

I remember briefly talking with Snap about Wales; think we may be around the same area-ish. I'm around the Dolgellau/Barmouth/Tywyn area.

What I love is the countryside around where I live. I can walk along a river or lake, walk along the estuary, go to the beach and climb a mountain; all of these activities can be done within a stone's throw from my house.

Morning everyone (well 11am is just still morning!) No Tesco for me today. Trip to the dentist with eldest son for brace fitting, followed by a day of making things for the summer fair...100 rings made already (just need to make 100 boxes to put them in now!), plus 50 kits of friendship bracelets, instructions written and photocopied. Millions of teddies washed and now sitting on radiators all over the house (well I couldnt peg them up by the ears on the washing line could I?) Wrapping 400 lucky dip prizes if I have time too!

Afternoon will be mainly making bags out of old jeans, ironing mums washing, visiting her in hospital, collecting kids, back to hospital and then some tea and a big tidy up!

Cor blimey I dont know how I managed when I had a job as well!:rotfl:

My best friend and her husband are both tax inspectors and they told me that the Inland revenue employ people to check newspapers for the small ads, Ebay....and even send them to car boot sales. (where I wonder if they take down number plates of anyone selling lots of the same stuff?)
They also check newsagents windows etc for people advertising gardening services, cleaning etc.

I would be very wary of trying to get a little tax free sideline going...chances are you are going to get caught eventually

What a waste of time and taxpayers' money. If only they spent as much effort going after the rich...

Also would like to say a big congratulations to Jimmy vs 'the conglomerate business'.

Our main one doesnt have scanners, but it helps if you have a makeup cpounter or pharmacy, as they are usually happy to scan, and dont seem to be bothered if items come up at 1por 4p as its 'not their department'.

They usually say 'oh thats a bargain, have they got any more on the shelf?' :T
