All those lovely sweets take me back to my childhood .In our village we had at least three shops that were packed with sweets and growing up I had my fair share . Some were made reasonably local and if my Dad was doing transport for them he would buy (drivers perk ) from the factories. Places such as Bassets (the home of Bertie ) or Dixons mint rock who funnily enough made human logos for their goods as well. As kids we had mates who's mothers worked in Brittain's no1 nut factory or in the XL crisp factory so we never went short there . I think most will remember Bertie Basset but does anyone remember The King Of Rock ? No not him ,this one ...😍

Also word has it, if you book an inside saver cabin ,they get very excited about it, More so once they know your cabin allocation .😉

Good luck Josey on your further tests but good news up to date. One step at a time 🙂

Your choice and by doing so does not interfere with anyone else. just like should you choose to wear sunglasses ..Your choice .

Sorry to hear that your TA has been cancelled, looks like it will be a reposition cruise with a few more cruises cancelled . Hope you get sorted Bazrat . My Mrs got this from elsewhere which shows the changes . Could be helpful to others .

Enjoy your day🙂

Chances are sat with a bottle of wine somewhere but as he once posted he doesn't broadcast being away, house insurance and things like that. A lot of us do the same. Now place your bets ..On the naughty step or not ,only he knows 🙂

Great to hear your sorting the dog out .I suppose us lot on here would recommend keeping him off Tomato soup and shell fish 😉 (If you read back through posts you will understand 🤣) Regarding your MSC cruise ...Go for it ! Cruises are like shoes not every cruise or shoe suits everyone . Your lad will thankyou for it . Go with what suits your as a family not what suits others . Have a great cruise when you choose 🙂 Anyway let you back to your dog walk

They moved and are now down the back of Holiday Inn ,in Southampton

We had that with the minibus drivers when we used to leave the car at Marchwood . Before the pandemic .

Prawns and shellfish were non starters 😉

Thank you for the good wishes and the same to you .😉 I bet it was great listening to the Grimie Brass Band ,good owd Yorkshire music ! Did they play "Everyone likes Kung Fu Fighting " ? 😉 With the dates so close together, down our road some friends of mine are organising a joint Chinese New Year celebration and Burn's Night supper - they're calling it Chinese Burns Night.

We ask for a table for two, with chairs with arms . (their description not ours ) When handing us over to the waiter who's a distance away they signal by tapping their arm.

And it gets worse for people who buy the low sugar/ salts products. Heinz Tomato Ketchup reduced version will cost £4 or more a bottle . My Mrs recently bought a packet of sage & onion stuffing (low salt ) When she told me the price I nearly choked on it . Anyone checked out the price of those Benecol drinks and spreads lately ? 😲 Thankfully there are a few alternatives out there but for some people with intolerances, such as milk it can come at a cost when buying oat, soya and nut versions .

"the crowd seriously disapproved!! " That you won a Mr & Mrs competition 😂 🤣 It's a bit like winning a skydiving contest stood in a swimming pool ! But fair play to you both, I'm impressed 🙂

I'm sure you and your good wife will have a great time Zap. We used to like the Blue Bar looking down at the ballroom dancers as they performed the military two step .🙂 Knowing your luck it maybe just one step .. Due to cut backs 🤣

My thoughts as well but why the fixation on P&O cruises ? They are not alone . Last night we watched a YouTube film on RC ships and in the film they went to a paid eatery. One gets his Breakfast in about 10 minutes while the other sits another 25 minutes before his breakfast turned up . They had staff shortages . A couple who filmed Cunard were not happy either. You only have to read the "Cut backs on P&O " thread and folks were wanting to get off a Princess cruise due to shortages .. A fair number of cruise lines as well as P&O . You forgot the photographers ..Say .cheese ???? Oh you did .😉

The ultimate in "cheeky" is when they revamp the packaging with words like "NEW " and tell you they contain less calories .

A bit of viewing starring the old TV . . . https://youtu.be/yLHvZeJNihI

Sorry to hear of your loss Jean . Gone to sing with the Angels bless her .

Travel insurance ? Avoid eating shellfish to avoid losing your .. No Clam Bonus 😉

It's good to talk about it , just don't clam up ...🤣😉

Nowt up with tinned spaghetti on toast ,same as Brian's Mrs ,I love it . Haven't tried the alphabet spaghetti though on toast as that could spell Disaster

Does make you think what her cooking was like. Fancy that him asking for more ! Not what she was expecting .oh well ! Some you lose and some you Winalot ? Or is it some you . . .😉 Either way he was in the dog house 🤣

Growing up as a kid we had Alsatian's and a Labrador. When it came to meal times they had a tin of Chappie each with a good handful of Winalot biscuits ,with a Vetzyme tablet thrown in . Dogs loved it but I hated the smell of that tinned meat 🙂
