All for £75 with a ten% off discount for new customers. Arrived this morning with TWO orange and apple flavour syrups, no Pepsi or 7Up. Sent them an email at 8.30am, three hours later I am getting the missing bottles delivered. Excellent customer service. Ooh... Might do this. Where is the 10% discount for noobs? I can't find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm averaging one curry a week these days (wife's fault, one a week is more than enough for her, even the mild ones). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2023 An unpublished Stanley Unwin recording: before he became famous on radio and TV for his gibberish, he was a maintenance engineer at Bush House. This dissertation on the Type B desks was recorded in S16 in the late 1950s (you can hear the Studio Managers laughing in the cubicle at one point). 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really was one of a kind. Absolutely brilliant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s better than some of his more polished stuff, because he’s using quite a bit of technically correct terminology in with the gibberish, which might not mean much to some folk or even be noticed, but it’s kind of an in joke, I guess.

Yorkshire farmers are all Tories The best farm shops are the small ones. We had one by our old house, they'd have a farmers market on a sunday and you could by veg at a pound a bag and you could mix up anything you wanted out of the boxes, if it fitted in their brown paper bag it was a quid, it was embarrassingly cheap. Sure the carrots and parsnips weren't straight like in the supermarkets but they were all fresh. I do miss being near that place Eggs were always much cheaper than the shops too, so was the bacon / sausages and they were all their own and much better than anything you could buy elsewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
