in Old style MoneySaving
A warm welcome to everyone, come in, pull up a chair and have a coffee.

Here's where we chat to discover the day's great finds, ask about everything from soup to nuts.

Note: It will make things easier for people who search by title in the advanced search if anyone starting a new topic here could fill in the title on their post.

So... coffee and cake anyone?


ps.gif Quoted from further down the thread
This is a coffee shop.

And it's Old Style.


So while it is a chat area, the subjects should still be those relating to the usual fare of our Old Style forum.

It has been opened so that the more informative threads will be easier to keep on topic for people looking for information rather then a chatty approach to whatever they seek.

So here is where we can have more freedom in allowing the topics to wander a bit...
..as long as the overall content is still Old Style.
