  • Bubbs,

    I've been to both Prague and Croatia.

    I agree with Westie that Prague is ideal for a weekend city break, but Croatia is stunning. The main town is Dubrovnik, on a beautiful coastline, red tiled houses, walled old town, harbour, and a cable car up the mountain for great views. You could have a lovely relaxing holiday strolling around in the old town.

    Hope that helps you decide :j

    For your information:

    I assume Match Makers Cool Mint vs M at 50p is long lost?
    I haven't seen the RTC item in M recently, although of course someone somewhere may have the item even now in their M, at the back of an RTC shelf that no-one has seen, maybe got lost behind something else in the aisles and is still undiscovered in the store months later, never had a SEL, or the RTC SEL, put onto the shelf, or brought out 'from the back' as restock and somehow never got bought or got lost in the store in some strange space and again not found by a member of staff or marked up so no-one ever bought it. I never found stock of the item myself, just two SELs for it at what for me was the beginning of the RTC, immediately after Christmas.

    I suspect the APG is N/A against M isn't it (even though I am doing my not ruling out that a very small number of Ms in the country, possibly even just one store, could still have it available and able to be purchased for 50p or, who knows?, even lower:rotfl:)?

    Someone that does the unlikelihood of finding it in their M may wonder why I am having so much trouble when they manage to find it almost straight away.

    2 x £20 and few gweggs

    got over £200 gweggs now and £280 bella

    not seen any other now for a few weeks
    I've been getting a few G's every day, and yesterday I got a 20 too.

    I asked in a Pizza Ex if these could be put on a physical gift card, the lad went off to ask but came back and said no.

    Wonder if the Bella ones can... has anyone asked?
