Went into my local branch today and got 1,160 glittery tea lights for 58p. (58 packs of 20 for a penny each) Bargain of the year, and they will be perfect for when I propose to my other half on the beach later this year

Hmmm ... not sure you've thought this through

Lighting 1 per second every second will take you 20 minutes ...

... and that's impossible anyway because it takes longer than that for the wick to catch and a viable flame to be maintained ... and you still need to move between them

Make it a more likely 5 seconds per tea light (about the best achievable in my bathroom) and you are nearer to 1 hour and 40 minutes than you are to a measly swift and lightning fast hour and a half. ...

... by which time the 1st will have ran out of fuel and will be illuminating NO MORE :eek:


And have you already arranged for the 1,160 jam jars to put them in ? :rotfl:

Only I don't know about you, but I've been on many of the most beautiful beaches around the world and watched the sun go down ...

... Turkey, Portugal, several Greek Islands, North Africa, Goa, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Seychelles, Sri Lanka ...


... and I'd give a naked tea light about 5 seconds before that lovely warm "gentle summer sea breeze" :rotfl: blows it straight out again.

And taking 1,160 jam jars with you is definitely an extra suitcase and will certainly exceed your carry on ... think we are talking EXCESS BAGGAGE :eek:


Hmmm .... very romantic

I found a lonely pair of Stompee childrens slippers in Wilko at Chelmsley Wood this morning marked 75% off - they went through the till at £1.50.

I also spotted a special purchase sign over some Prestige bakewear - they were marked at £2 each but the loose bottom sandwich tin I bought went through at £1.
