Re: Cheers!
Limited Edition Baileys Colada.
Not sure about that, but it sold out quickly the last time they did it.

It's Pimms O'Clock
Or at least it would be, if this spring warmed up a bit.
In anticipation, Sainsbury's has the 1 litre bottle for a tenner (better than half price) if you flash your Nectar card at the till (or use Smart Shop)

Re: Crisps
I only like salt & vinegar crisps with a pint of beer. In my younger days I loved Smiths crisps that came with the little bag of salt, and then the new Golden Wonder flavoured ones, smokey bacon, hamburger, roast chicken - all about 50% salt. I agree - those big bags of premium (= expensive), "hand-...

Re: This week's shortage
The letter writer has a point, to a point. Sixty years ago we did not have, or feel entitled to, fruit and salad all year round, and relied on what was in season grown at or close to home. That all changed..... after we joined the EU. It should also be remembered, however, that we used to get most o...

Re: Vernon Kay?
The best thing about Vernon Kay is that he's not Rylan, or DJ Spoony, who got a go in the chair at Christmas time. That doesn't say much, but says it all, really. In the good old bad old days of the BBC message board we used to berate Ken and his producer Gary Bones for the samey, predictable 70s/ea...

Re: This week's shortage
Sainsbury's had plenty of tomatoes and peppers at the weekend, until some idiot posted a photo of an empty shelf on "social" media. I've always tried to avoid the dregs of the Spanish/Canary/Moroccan tomato crop which our supermarkets import in winter. They're tough and tasteless, and don't keep ver...
Re: Poor Ken
I think he's fed up with all the shite he has to play. I like GHR, Richard does a Saturday show and Simon does Drivetime, if it wasn't for the bloody adverts all would be perfect. That and also, I still like to hear new music not just oldies all day. +1, which is why I have not got as attached to B...

Re: Why is Louise
I think Ken needs a new set of headphones. Either that or his ears syringing.
I was more unimpressed with the horrible computer keyboard instrumental backing.

Re: This week's shortage
This week's shortage is Lemsip (other flu and cold remedies are unavailable).

It hasn't stopped them advertising it on TV though

Re: This week's shortage
Our Sainsbury's had plenty yesterday. As did M&S, although theirs are £1 per half dozen box dearer - I do hope their farmers are getting the benefit.

Re: This week's shortage
Things are getting serious now. No Curly Wurlys to be found in any of the supermarkets.
