If you do go and you see some large potato round things, you have to try them. The Germans serve them with apple sauce - sounds gross but they are really yummy.
I will try my best to go if work doesn't get in the way.
I like the sound of the potato things and love apple sauce.

All my purchases were successful until I tried with the Ferrero cones. Sel said £5.63, shelf said 3 for £10, till said £5. Paid £15 and went to CS to query. CS said Ferrero not in offer and was so nice I didn't want to argue.
Swapped the cone for the whisky collection, got a £5 refund and a £6.40 apg. All good, however for some reason the cone is not in the offer in my A?:huh::huh:
I got the Ferrero cone and two shortbreads today (not for APG) and they cost £10. How odd about the cone.0 -
Just wondering if this could be ordered for c & c for tomorrow using the new customer £15 voucher code along with other stuff and then take it back as it was the wrong one ordered

The bramley apples compared very well yesterday against Waities.
Nothing is comparing today.
:mad::mad:
Yes, Bramley is/was v.v. good and was what I intended to get. No idea why no comps. - now, am I going to go through every item on the wombles vs W on msm.co.uk?
First womble..no use (as predicted). Least worse comp. is below, in case anyone wants to check what W should be on every item:D:rotfl:.

Bless him, he has a good memory.
I think you need to drop in that you want a large diamond ring (or something similar) for your next Autumn present

Right of course, Leeds centre is better but not been for a while
I got severely traumatised in Leeds :eek::o trying to get off the ring road
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I drove round the bleeding thing so many times I was nearly in tears, I was really late for the job I was going to and I honestly thought I'd be there until it was dark just driving round and round
:o:o:o
This was a few years back so I can
now, but at the time...:eek::rotfl: 0
