Brrrr. Cody cold cold cold. And misty out side. Haven't done what we wanted to do this morning in the fields because it's so damn misty. We were duped by yesterday's lovely sun and thje dry forecast for today that today would be the same.

It's 14-15degC and sunny on the South Coast now. :beer:

Quoting myself but apparently the glitch is no more (since a week ago - hasn't stopped them filling up several hundred pages since then mind!). This means I will have to go to asda and to spend my existing vouchers without any super cheap shopping in return which will be tough as I hate Asda and will struggle to spend £26

Hope you have already printed out your vouchers or you may find them reduced to the new maximum of £15.

Welcome to NP Zekko (or possibly welcome back if you are an old timer). Herts seems to be similar - nice when the sun comes out but when the mist drifts back a darn sight chilly - we are hoping to give the grass a final cut for the season this arvo.

I had that 2 weeks ago but an email to CS and they are sending me a gift card for the difference between the £15 and £23 it should have been.

It still doesn't seem to have slowed down that thread though - a bit like nice people but on speed (a slightly move chavvy but I didn't say that)

You want to see the film In Brugge as well, also top marks and made me want to revist after 20 years.

Lovely jubbly!:beer:
Flight or train? Got some airmiles/avios to use up and looking for ideas, but mainly for northern France/low countries.

Got a friend who lives at Ramsgate and his local pub has an endless list of imported Belgian beers, like fruit beers, wheat beers etc.

The landlord is always over there on trips scouting for new things to stock. Mind you, you spend half the evening out trying to pick form the colossal menu. By the time you've agreed on the order for the next round, you've sobered up again!:D

If you like all the fruit beers and wheat beers, then you have to try Old Munster just over the Dutch border in Germany, you want the students area, the place is magical. And when you have had enough of that you can try going slightly north to Rheine and then come back through Holland and do what we used to and head for maybe Ostende or Brugge, happy days.

Three choices:
- grin and bear it
- use it for frivolous Xmas stuff/booze/presents
- send them to me.

I prefer Asda to Tesco; might be a size thing as the Asda's bigger here, but I prefer Asda's bread ranges and deli stuff more.

You are right, I can't stand Tesco either - question is are they intrinsically horrible and attract the worst sort of shopper or if they opened here rather than in the distinctly inferior 'next town' whether they would actually be OK?

Do we have to do the Belgian thing again?

Add Audrey Hepburn and adopted sax to the list from me ( same as last time probably) oh, and Rubens ( which isn'tspelled right but cam't see what to change. Probably add a vowel.)
