It may not help, but would you be worried if he was going to London, or even Newcastle? No? There is probably just as much risk. Yes, that part of the world is having issues at the moment, but if there is a real threat, then there will be notices issued to tell people not to travel. Is he going for work? They hopefully will be continuously assessing the risk. My cousin spends a lot of time there working.

You have said almost word for word what he has said. He's putting a lot of trust in the foreign office. I'm not sure that I trust them as much:o

It's partly a holiday partly work but he has a month booked in Seoul....North Korea is sooooooo unpredictable

Thanks Wendy. I need to stop following the news. I wake up very morning and think" I wonder who America have bombed now?"

There are too many unpredictable people in charge of our security:o

Thank you shortie:)

I almost long for the days when they were little and I knew where they were at night.
But talk of chemical weapons and thermal nuclear stuff is doing my head in. You wouldn't stand a chance would you:o

That's right - I have one now that I have been missing for around three and a half months:rotfl:! Not been in any store I have been to at the times I've been there, until now.

I didn't scan it - I can't trust what I'm told at the tills anyway - and this was one too far to put past them and make an excuse for - it was marked at £2 but is probably £1 like one of the others scanned a while earlier. Or even maybe 50p by now who knows:rotfl::rotfl:. Anyway, I'm covered by the "Probably £1.00":cool:.

Don't go rushing to M looking for Dr. Who Annuals - I doubt many people will find it or have much luck. It's just one unit of stock in one store, left around now in a fairly random place in the store - probably long gone from the vast majority of stores.

I think they just bring one out on me so that they can say "Ah, but you haven't got all that we have!" And, they are right(:(:rotfl:)). It's possible I haven't even got all of them even now - they might be some others that I will never see (and through no fault of my own). What I could (should?) do is fudge it all and put "Various 2017 Annuals". However, I would think all these different ones have different BCs (I can't say that I have checked what BC is on this one now and whether it is the same as any of the others that I had earlier - in fact I have no BCs of any of them at all) so, if they are different BCs, the rule is they are separate items and each individual one should therefore be listed. In as far as I am physically able to find them anywhere at all:rotfl:.

The Fuchsias Collection, btw, that I did initially list individually last time, only to find all the numerous versions were a single BC, have now come back to M - and are at £1. They will be added, under the single generic entry as they are one and the same. Also I have the long-lost Lobenias and the Summer Sensations plants back at £1 - I think they probably did eventually literally clear out but new stock for this year has been put out in some Ms. As far as I know, there is no lingering stock from last year so I probably was right, eventually, to remove them and lose them. This year's stock has just appeared (at least for me - who knows if it was around several weeks before at other stores?). I also have some Rockery Perennials, on a certain BC, at 67p that are now at a number of stores. Once again, if I had packed in after store three on Wednesday, like Mr T would (but then again these are not grocery items so on these occasions would not mater), I would not have any knowledge of them at all as I only found them in some later stores (depending on the order in which I visited the stores). I think they are probably in many places, even though I did not initially have them at the earlier parts of Wednesday.

The 50p primrose and, even from earlier, the 50p Mini Daffodil, I cannot now, for now, find - I think at least the Primrose will still be remaining somewhere - it's now some weeks since the 50p pots were brought in - as it will just happen to be stock that hasn't sold. One unit at 50p (they are on different BCs to the full price version that I don't currently have back yet) may stick around unsold somewhere - it's very probably going to happen somewhere with there being around 500 stores - one unit stuck around for several months, at one of my stores, at some point last year despite (or perhaps because of) lots of full price stock around it - the 50p pot was just, haphazardly, not bought for ages and I kept having it at my store for ages - there were none anywhere else for me during that period - it's no good me going to the same store again now as, haphazardly, that may have sold out this time (new stock isn't being brought in until the product generally goes back to 50p again - but now old stock at 50p, like my store before, it's going to have happened somewhere else in the country - there will be some Primroses at 50p, even if now quite rare, available that simply haven't yet been sold). So, I'm not removing 50p primrose now for ages even if I haven't found it anywhere this time as I think it most probable indeed that it will have some remaining stock somewhere and will probably keep there until the next 50p offer in general so never be removed:rotfl:! Just never remove anything:rotfl::rotfl: - although, it's not as if this item is one that I think "oh, it's surely not going to be anywhere now" and then find somewhere a week later - instead I think it's almost definite that somewhere will not have sold all of the stock it had (and therefore still has some unit or small number of units). So, definitely available somewhere I think. At least at this point in time - which is not a vast amount of weeks since it came in. And if anyone happens to see a 50p Primrose pot at their M, it will simply prove what I've said and what I suspect. I don't therefore need to know (although I don't mind you telling me), as I already "know" it! Even though I don't know know, so have still used quotes, but (really) I know, if you see what I mean.
