bubbs.When I first posted on the forum I said call me sal because I knew me and Savvy would get muddled up.:D

Well, I managed to pick 5 lbs of redcurrants today. They have been boiled and are now straining ready to become redcurrant jelly tomorrow:D

O Yes now that is rather suave...just like me...;)

In case you don't know the meaning of suave bubbles...It's charming, sophisticated, debonair, urbane, worldly, worldly-wise, polished, refined, poised, self-possessed, dignified, civilized, gentlemanly, gallant; smooth, smooth-talking, smooth-tongued, silver-tongued, glib, bland, polite, well mannered, civil, courteous, affable, tactful, diplomatic, slick;

Yes, I think that describes me to a T..:rotfl::rotfl:

Hello Arthian & emiai, you are local to me. :wave:

Hi!!

If anyone else local wants some free beer, i used one at tesco express without a problem but they said no to using any more than 1. Apparently big stores have sold out already (not sure if I believe they've sold out of all varieties, just the best-value ones )

I also used 3 in a small co-op and he was ready and waiting for the coupon, no questions asked

OOooo thats posh will stink with them smelly fags/pipe;):rotfl:

Think that's why they were fashionable - it saved the better jackets from smells and falling ash...

I like men smoking pipes - think I should have been born in the 1920s...


Waiting for Snap to get those flags flying now....

Saved £220 today - well, have deferred it to a few months away at least.

Dealership who did service early last month advised me re tyres, quoting £220 to have it done there and then. This was for three (I recently had a new one due to puncture.) So today, feeling bad as I had not had them done, I went to a tyre place to order some new ones. They very kindly had a look before ordering and said they aren't even near the halfway mark yet and to go back in another couple of thousand miles.

My friend used to work for a dealership and told me that they justify it by saying the tyres need changing according to their standards, which just so happen to be far more strict than the legal minimum...

Whenever I hear of picking currants, it always reminds me of when I went picking them one year on a farm...We had to pick them by the bucket.....O my word...what a laboriously painful experience...:rotfl::rotfl:
