They are lovely and comfy and they are so much better than the slippers I have here.

In the interests of doing due diligence for BE, on my last trip to the UK
(~2007) I made some pertinent excuse and caught the bus to the local Sainsbury. What would I find? The forum had led me to believe that there would be treasures piled to the ceiling.

I had a bit of a lookaround. I asked an assistant whether the 'Buy One Get One Free' (BOGOF) applied to the little midi stereo they had and she rolled her eyes and reiterated the point: 'Bug Off'.

I purchased a bag of Revels and caught the bus back...filtering out the orange centres and discarding the coffee ones.

I hate the coffee ones too, why have they not realised after so many years that nobody likes them!!!

I like the coffee Revels. Can't eat the toffee ones though as my crowns might get pulled out. Not that I've eaten them for nearly 3 years.
