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:
MrsGrey said "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:
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
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
Xmas is the time of year when I miss the UK the most... All special foods and sweat treats..

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.

I have a pint glass for such emergencies.

What colour was the Turkish Delight one?
Actually now of think of it maybe it wasn't quality Street... :hmm:
I think the Turkish Delight is pink?
I basically hate all the yellow ones.
Pink is fudge. Don't think there ever was a Turkish Delight. Roses?
