I'm glad we left, as the UK was getting way too expensive for me

They also don;t charge the fee if you have bought something there and have a receipt or a Harrods Store Card!

Telling someone to shut up is a bit rich too, I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are to yours (one eyed and judgemental though it is)
I am no ones sidekick matey and where have I been judgmental? A little mental maybe, but never judging.

I LOVE TESCO's

I have no need to inflate my sense of self-worth thank you. It is already nicely swollen.

Never mind Tescos - what about Fine Fare, International, Timothy Whites, VG Stores, MacFisheries, Bejams and Prestos? Hmmm?

But before you do, can you ask your sister what Woolworth will be doing with all their cotton? I always went to Woolworth for my cotton, still got some in my sewing box with a 6p price tag on.
Going off at a tangent with you SGG... I have a wooden cotton reel in my bobbin box that I drew a face on as a child, that must be about 35 years old.
Perhaps the next thread should be, "who has the oldest cotton reel?' Wonder if that one could be as controversial....?
