    There is a rumour that Boris' entire government booked TC flights for the duration of the Proroguement, but wouldn't pay them. That's what sent TC bust... :wave:

    "When I got to the airport for the return flight, it turns out they'd overbooked and I was turfed off. I found myself in Dalaman airport with no money, a travel rep who denied any responsibility because I hadn't booked a package, and no flight home."

    MrsGrey, now come on, you can't leave us like that wondering what happened next - next instalment please. :biggrin:

    My guess is Mrs Grey refused to make a 'transfer' ;) :footie:

    My guess is she emailed IBL, but he replied he’d got more problems at Watford :lol:

    Well, under the fifa rules, they can't stop releasing players to the national team.

    How crazy is it to think Savio Nsereko is now 30 and probably coming towards the end of his career?

    At least, the offer has been made. He's thinking about what he wants to do, apparently.

    John Lewis wins Christmas... No more of those nasty purple one.... :bowdown:


  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I havent had any quality street in over 10 years (does the purple one have a nut in it? If so, I like those!).Christmas is the one time I truly miss London (all the traditions, memories, TV etc :weep: ). I just havent been able to afford to go back in a long time
  • HamstewHamstew
    I reckon you would be in the minority re the purple one. It's lush.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Ok I'm wrong then on the colour...

    What colour was the Turkish Delight one?

    Actually now of think of it maybe it wasn't quality Street... :hmm:
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Purple is a ?Brazil nut with a sort of caramelly surround, isn't it? (And chocolate.)
    I think the Turkish Delight is pink?

    I basically hate all the yellow ones.
  • Brother_SledgeBrother_Sledge
    My golf buddy gives me all the strawberry and orange creams that no-one in his family will eat - they are my favourites, especially before breakfast with a cup of tea
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    The Purple One is chocolate filled with hazelnut and caramel although it used to be brazil nut.

    Pink is fudge. Don't think there ever was a Turkish Delight. Roses?
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Thanks MrsGey,, ok I hate the pink ones... :thumbsup:

    Vorse

    There are a few online sites (eg, British Corner Shops') that can supply treats from home. They are quite over-priced, but if you are craving a food package for a special occasion they can be a treat.

    We used to use them at Christmas when we first moved out here, and at other times for various things you couldn't get out here (Marmite, for example). Not so much lately, but it might be worth you having a look, if you aren't aware of them.
