    Go tomorrow morning - there will be nobody around then.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Those little corner shops are actually quite busy.

      Luckily they sell alcohol and chocolate so you will be able to get some last minute presents.

        Set off at 6am to pick up the goose, -12 so the the diesel was starting to freeze and had reduced power (at least I hope that's what it was). Got back eventually but now faced with the prospect of getting the veggies. Dilemma - Tesco which has plenty of parking or M&S which doesn't. Either way it'll be a nightmare.

        Still, got all the booze in
        Me, me, me...

              The tesco near me was really quiet - easy parking and half the checkouts were empty, the same for the co-op

                      And I've had a correction by email from one of the gathered congregation.

                      Yes, you can get it this year.

                      It's available this year in Afghanistan they can confirm.
