    All joking aside, some of the hampers we saw earlier in the saga were lovely and as time has passed they have gradually got a bit erm well not exactly what folk were expecting.
    The over riding feeling from everyone here is disappointment at being let down so badly and lied to at every turn.
    Hope you enjoy your hampers though x

    Now that I come to think of it. Thought he had closed the shop to concentrate on packing?????????????????????????/

    He has. There is a note on the door saying to knock if you have pre-ordered and he then opened the door for me. Lights were off. Hampers were everywhere!

    I only found out the scale of all this tonight. Feel a bit guilty that I've got mine. Tbh I haven't checked the contents against what we were told we'd get as they looked fine to me. Am happy to take pictures if people want. Although have eaten some sherbet from the sweets one (pregnant and craving!).

    I've de branded everything from the hampers I got so that whatever they get used for, Neil will get absolutely no publicity from it.

    Up yours, Neil. finger.gif

    As I'm into graphic design, and spent many a day branding items, that made me lol!
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    We would love pictures and we forgive you for eating the sherbet as you are with child lol

    PS Don't feel guilty I am just glad someone has their hampers after spending all that money on them!!
  • Just taken photos, excuse their naffness, my phone's camera isn't great.

    The sweetie hamper is a buckle one and the Christmas hamper has a clip that you twist to keep it closed. The mince pies were tied to the top of the Christmas one with some rafia.

    These were part of the buy 6, get a bonus hamper, then for an extra (£10 maybe?) get 2 of the sets. So I got 2 of each of these, as me and mum went halves we had two each, hers were the same as mine.

    The Christmas one has brandy butter, apply chutney, onion chutney, cranberry sauce, mince pies, 2 packs of biscuits, a christmas pudding and a wadge of xmas cake.

    The sweets one is a big mix, with a couple more sherbets than shown, I think I've eaten something else from it too but can't remember what.

    Haha, thank you. I'm craving all things sour that make my face hurt! I ate a lemon for breakfast. Then 3 satsumas.
