Do we have any mechanics on board?
More car woes for me

Hindsight is indeed such a wonderful thing.
When will I ever learn?!

Weirdest thing at the last one that I was at was a youngish bloke in a van selling sets of saucepans. He had the saucepan sets in boxes out in front of the side of the van with a price sign on and then sat in the van making no attempt to sell them, people literally had to knock on the van door to get him to take notice.

I'm hopeless at selling stuff at CB. I prefer fleebay and seem to be able to sell load of old c*ap. :rotfl:

Mine BB March 2014, but still absolutely fine as those BB dates mean nowt, as my stores stopped selling them most recently! Or maybe that was the other kind of Nutri-Grain:think: - anyway, general point valid even if specific example not. (I have consumed some of those that were in the box, but still a few left.)

There is a website actually that I found - sure some or many are already aware of it - "Approved Food":

http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/

Noticed that they had Aunt Bessies Pancake Mix at 19p just after I'd bought it in A (at £1.49:rotfl: vs T 20p). Their pancake mix January 2014 - so, quite obviously, lasts a lot longer than I might have thought - encouraging as I'm now keeping certain stuff (that which had BB long off in the first place) for a lot longer than what I did before - and it's absolutely and perfectly fine to eat! BBC did a programme that tested some of their stuff - it's linked to from their site - and found it to be biologically safe. The pancake mix one surprises me a little bit - but mine is December 2014, presumably fine for next Easter!:rotfl::T My aim of course is never to reach a stage when I'm throwing stuff out - but consume all food/drink I've got within time (and "time" can run well beyond BB dates sometimes).

We have to be careful though - some of our products, even at glitch prices, are bettered by Approved Food. But others we are beating (and getting in-date stuff). The cereal boxes for instance, some at 500g and over £1, you can beat that on the well in-date stuff and don't have to go to elsewhere, like to AF, to pay more (over the odds in my view there) on short-dated or out of date (but fine) stuff. So, use it judiciously (as you will), if you wish to use it, for money-saving - it may be another option, that betters the prices we've been getting sometimes. Just throwing AF into the mix, to be considered, alongside all else.:)

Never consume beyond "Use-by".

Anything goes at the CB sales around here. There is always a couple of sellers with tables of pirate DVDs and CDs. Big sign at the entrance saying it is not allowed, but no one seems to care. :eek:

A friend of mine works for trading standards and part of her job is to visit car boot sales looking for pirate CD's/DVD's and other fake stuff. Not saying that this will happen everywhere but hopefully they do catch up with some of them.

Hopefully, but they seem quiet lax around here.

Has anyone else been using Amazon Prime/Love film? What a load of c**p it is. I signed up for my free one month trial. However, there is barely anything on it when compared to Netflix. Everything that I want to watch you have to pay to watch like Saving Mr Banks. Only Fools and Horses is all mixed and for the Christmas specials and most of the episodes are only half there. Not very good. :mad:

Purdy, what about great wood-rush ? I think some of the varieties of that like the shade ? Also I think the Royal Horticultural Society has a search function so you can search through if there's anything else you like once you've put all the details in
