M (frozen) Beef Curry & Rice 400g (old version) 50p. I presume this means the Chicken Curry & Rice is also 50p. I wonder what happened to the (old version of) Beef Slices in Gravy? That's right - 18 stores of no trace of Beef Slices this week:rotfl:. So, I've not got them:o:o and I don't know whether they still are 93p or not.

thanks for this, it makes more sense now. When the brown envelope came this morning my heart sank

He has only been down south since early August so he really is just working his way around - to mis quote L P Hartley

The south is a foreign country; they do things differently there

His work has sent him up to London twice and on both weeks he had to go up for 3 days in a row going via Victoria and then across London via various tubes to wherever he needs to be. I've given him the transport for London link and his sister has shown him the app to use but even so he gets hopelessly lost each time - he must just get on whatever tube train is in front of him at the time.

This is the same son who was out in the far east for nearly a year and travelled all over the place ...

We are not so different mhoc, we are all the elite.

A glitch on trainers would be handy, I got two of the Karrimor ones that were really cheap a couple of years or so ago, they are nearly worn out and I have no intention of paying more than £20 for a pair of trainers :eek:

same here. karrimors feel really comfortable - I wish I could find something else comparable. I have one new pair in readiness for wearing in but I hate parting with old ones, they end up as gardening shoes,
mostly I wear a hole in the heals.

I randomly check sports direct when I go past but they always seem to be pushing £30 and always OH karrimors are cheaper

I've got one pair of lovely pink sketchers but they are so light I don't know if they would stand up to the hard life I give walking trainers

walking boots are no good as I don't like things high on the ankle
