Hope they're better than the supermarket crap I usually get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted December 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2023 I took my family "Only Fools and Horses" branded Christmas Crackers one year. They thought they were going to be treated to the Christmas special on DVD. They were rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find it that funny, but I think a lot of more intelligent, coastal Americans like my missus find this sort of thing hysterical. ("Did you read it yet?!" she keeps asking me.)
