    While I remember we used to ask Mum whats for dinner? The answer always came back Kippers and Custard :eek:

    you were lucky, when we asked what was for tea, we got windmill pie, (if there is enough to go round u will get some!)
    or bread and pull-it!

    Fogot to say, my local had loads and loads of the boots reduced to £20.00, they had brown and black.

    I took back my £23 pair bought from Asda online and rebought in Asda at £19. Said half price at £20 but original price was £38 so SA put them through t £19:)
