Good idea! I did look to see if there was a place online to leave a review, as there is for their clothes (or used to be) but I couldn't see one. Yes, I get a lot of stuff from them now. https://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/

There's no point having a speed limit if cars going above it a little way are just "let off", surely? What buses on LL are doing 50mph?

That's a helpful letter 👍

Crikey, 2007! Thanks so much for finding that!

I was going through a huge box of old postcards today, and I came across a postcard apparently published by or on behalf of this forum, with three rather boring (sorry! Perhaps this was intentional!) photos on it. There is no name or date on it. Does anybody know anything about it? It must be very old, as I haven't opened this box for years! "You may have heard of it" 😂 I will bring it along to the forum drinks tonight, to see if it jogs anyone's memory!

This is tonight! If you have any questions (about the drinks tonight) which you don't want to post publicly on this thread, please message me before 7pm. I will do my best to remember to check my messages! Sue x

Hooray!

So do I. Don't think so. I've got no other symptoms. I've just had my invite for flu and Covid jabs. I'm a bit worried because I was quite ill after my last Covid jab. Before that they had been fine. Then a couple of months later I got Covid anyway 🙄

Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).

This is a bit niche 🤣 I like Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand, I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now, the second after wheat flour is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2: Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).

This is tomorrow, people! Xxx

If memory serves, their last post some time ago was about doing some kind of research trying to correlate forum members' posting habits with their personalities, or something along those lines. It's a troll. Their chosen forum name says it all. I just wonder why they bother, and what kind of twisted pleasure they get out of it. ETA: Sorry, I think I may have misunderstood your post and what you were referring to, as you didn't quote anyone? But I'm keeping my post as it was, in case I didn't!

Is your cat ok? Sorry, don't mean to disrupt your thread.

Still some tickets available for this concert, but they are selling fast! Our November concert at The Ivy House with Andy Irvine is now sold out, but WeGotTickets is running a waiting list in case any ticket holders have tickets which they can't now use.
