    has anyones razors turned up without a holder, i had some today with no shower holder but right description on paperwork sent them back as was worried they would not compare ,

    I think it should still have compared whatever it turned up as - if the right product was ordered, that should appear on the comp. regardless of any substitutions that may be given. It looks like you sent back the right ones. You may still be able to get the APG though:rotfl:.

    Bubbs' post elsewhere, with the roll-arounds, is making me laugh. It is indeed a bit crap for Easter eggs not to compare against anything or to compare two at a price £1 more expensive.

    :)

    Decided to collect 50ps... bit late :o

    Today we have been through £200 from Bank. ...

    Managed to get 3 we needed & I'm now 13 50ps into starting another Olympic set..... why? :o:o

    DH went to the bank yesterday for a £200 bag, cashier told him he has competition for the coins now he struggled back with the new bags they had in. £500 worth :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: and he strolled home with that lot in his backpack, strapped to his back.

    He's gone through them all and returned the lot this morning. He wonders why he has back pain this evening. I'm keeping my gob shut for fear I might just upset him :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Snap, if you are in dire need of Olympic 50p s let me know, we might be able to help you out. But why do you want another set? Is it because the coins are still out there? :cool: :)

    have to do some work and put in an order for work as they have really good offers, but you get to do it in the hospitality suite so not really work. :D

    I don't eat honey no, nor do most vegans. Vegan in the truest sense does not eat or use anything that has come from animals, as they believe that is not what animals are on this earth for. Commercial honey is a no no as they clip wings of Queen Bee so she can't go off to set up another hive, and they kill and renew them every couple of years whereas they would naturally live for 4 or more as a Queen in a wild hive

    Added: When the honey, which is in fact regurgitated nectar, is removed, it is replaced by sugar paste which is not as nutritional to the bees, to see them through the winter, which is what the honey is made by them for

    Very interesting.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: next week is a year since we last flooded:eek:

    I remember, a few years back, when the site was flooded for weeks. Though that may have been earlier in the year because I remember you saying that you would still have shut down.
