Damm, anyone got any spare armour plating please?
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Like the Pikey in front of me on the motorway coming back from Chantals.

In the middle lane, doing 50 mph, England flags all over the van and car, and refusing to move over into the clear inside lane. He held up the traffic and was downright dangerous.

Hmmp ****er. Hope his chemical bog fell out!!! :twisted:

Hmmm, now I'm a pikey am I, I wondered why twenty of them invaded the park behind my house a few years ago, they must have come to vet my application to join :oops: .

And I thought the worst thing about caravanning was the possibility of coming back after a day at the beach to find Mrs Beckett MP on the next pitch!
:shock:
Never ever go to a camp site with a bar or social club, drunks do not mix well with tents and awnings. :roll:

Well there's always Swann Morton.

Who? Have you ever used a scalpel blade? They made it. They make something crazy like 75% of all the scalpels used anywhere in the world.

And they are a workers co-operative who all go home early on Fridays and have five weeks a year holiday. They are able to do so because they are profitable.

I can't understand how your original opening comment about Cadbury's Dairy Milk can be totally correct in view of a cirrent news item about Cadburys DM bars made in Leominster, Hereford, UK being withdrawn because of a salmonella scare. I know that factory well, it dominates the scene on the A49 from Hereford.
Anyway, I have switched to Sainsbury's brand, less than half the price and nicer, milder flavour.

I suspect that the chocolate bar could have been packaged in France from chocolate 'crumb' made in UK, under crazy EU rules that gets labelled as made in France, the same as GB sheep are exported, kept in France a short time and then sold as French Lamb. It's amazing how the French seem to get away with this sort of thing. There is a BBC news video about the ban and a lot of other material available from websearch.
