oooooh...that also contains a link to the entertaining Declan Nerney. Now I can play him in the background whilst playing on the forum...erm...I mean...working. Thanks observermum.



*dee dee dee dee dee dee la la la la*

Actually, Declan Nerney was much better LIVE...out in the open air. I enjoyed listening to his band's music whilst I just simply sat/walked about with friends eating icecream, crisps and drinking cider. The whole atmosphere was lovely. Everyone seemed relaxed and to be having a good time. Sure some of the stalls were a bit naff - but so what - it was free, fun and pleasant, I was with good friends and the weather was perfect. Everyone I bumped into said the same. But then and again, I prefer the simple things in life.

I agree - pleasant atmosphere

Unfortunately the dates clashed with lots of other events and school fairs so many families were busy elsewhere.

But still a good turn out and many people caught up with old friends. As for the stalls - they're a one-off thing - it was not really a profit making event with just stands for the county associations with a few raffles to raise money for the elderly or Across etc


Well done to the organisers

Hope it continues for many years to come.......

Ah well...there's no accounting for taste...


And, no I really wasn't taking the Mick Mac (I like that by the way!) OliviaDee...I genuinely enjoyed DN's music on Sunday. It was cheery. And I do genuinely love that accent. But each to their own...whatever floats your boat...whatever tickles your fanny...

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
