Ā I was talking to my brother-in-law today, he lives in Victoria, BC and he was saying that snow is forecast for tomorrow, yet they have a temperate climate similar to the UK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 809 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Yes Lizzie it is earlier than normal the airport has cancelled flights and many roads are closed. It is supposed to snow for two more days but no blizzards hopefully, in Victoria it is usually wet snow the same as in the UK our temperatures are going to be well below normal at -13 for midweek thats the end of my garden until next year.

RadFordee 68 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 @Messthanks for the info, they were obviously retired before I was old enough to remember them. Quite a short lifespan too compared to some of Cadbury's products. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,298 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 What sort of rod and tackle do you use to fish for duck and pheasant. I expect it would be a bl**dy big one if you want to land a deer! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,284 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was the founding chairman of our fishing club back in the 80's. 200 members now and a waiting list. Still on the committee as environmental officer and currently undertaking projects for river habitat improvement and water quality monitoring. This evening will be the inaugural meeting of a fly tying club that I'm starting up. It's in a different pub out in the Boondocks. Heavens knows what is going to turn up there???

nonnaB 4,895 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Just managed to catch up a bit and I missed Loppys birthday. Happy belated Loppy hope it was a good one. Favourate choccies... I dont have one but I have them all. The boxes I got from BCS are in my usual Christmas order and i dont open them before. Along with that I bought 4 large Aero caramel that they sais was being sold as they were near to BB date. They have got a long BB date and I'm annoyed I didnt get any more. The Ferrero factory is near us and they have just started making their chocolates again after the summer. So if you are buying your chocolates made by them you can be assured they are nice and fresh. Walking in Alba where they make them the air increases your weight its so heavy with a chocolaty smell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iāve almost given up on āMarksusāā having recently purchased a nice sweater in there and then saw an old lady being Ā interviewed on local news in Mansfield market place, wearing the same item. Ā It was bad enough seeing an OLD lady wearing it but in MANSFIELD! Ā Last year whilst in Miami I went very OTT extravagant and bought a Stella McCartney shirt for myself. Ā I absolutely love it but almost immediately had regrets at spending such a large amount on one little item that I wonāt wear very often because itās too special. Ā Primark is very good for basics, such as t-shirts, which will set you back about the same amount as a Costa coffee, but Iāve picked up some good deals at McArthur Glen at J28.

Ā I went to M&S a couple of weeks ago and bought two sweatshirts, a pair of trousers and a flat cap. Total Ā£130. That's probably all I'll spend this year. I have sufficient clothing for all occasions and apart from a couple of pairs of shoes, am unlikely to buy anything else for the foreseeable.Ā Also, by spending more than Ā£ 100, I discovered I qualified to buy a 'Beauty Advent Calender'.( A box full of 'product') 'Worth Ā£300', for only 40 quid.. So I actually saved Ā£260, plus another fiver saved by getting 2x 25 quid shirts for 45 quid. Win Win...Ā AlsoĀ one of my daughters is keen on getting the 'Beauty Box' as a Christmas Prezzy. She isn't bothered about using it as an advent calendar. Win Win Win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,145 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 M&S in Southwell have a small food shop and a filling station. ForĀ the last two weeks theyāve had the parking area closed off to install 2 electric charging points. I went today to use the cash machine but couldnāt park nearby. I parked in the only disabled spot, put on my best limp and walked to the machine. It was out of order! It looks like the building work will last for at least another week, the shop must be losing a fortune and how many people will use the chargers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
