    Ive been going through the Amex small shops list again looking - like a dog worrying a bone :D

    Specifically Ive been looking at the local cafes to see if they have any have lunch time offers or early bird offers - so far nothing and most had not even got webpages. One offered a free piece of toast with a coffee - not impressed.

    I was thinking that when we go to the chip shop or have a cheese bacon toastie in Morrison's then we would spend about £8 - reckless thrill seekers that we are :rotfl:
    So if i can find an early bird offer or a lunch offer for say £6 or £7 each so £12 or £14 for 2 - after the £5 amex comes off it works out much the same as our normal treat but far more exciting :D

    There are loads listed for Chester - might have more success trawling through this list ....
