  • Just been out with the kids. Bought three packs of pomm bears crisps. 4.20. nearly fell on the floor. Glad I didn't order a pack for me 😂 must remember children eat constantly and are forever on the hunt for more food. Otherwise good time.had by all and random day of annual leave has so far been a success

    Wow they better have enjoyed them for that price lol.  Yes much easier and cheaper to keep some in a bag to bring with you,  As long as you all enjoyed your day out.
