        Of course I had forgotten that most of you still live at home with your mums

          For Christmas dinner it'll be a 3 bird roast from the local farm (organic and free range everything).
          For ancillary food items Harrods food hall (it's been much improved recently)
          For drinks, Majestic wines
          Hard Brexit now!

            Where's the 'Each gift will be chosen from the boutique of an artisan crafts-person with thought and care' option?

            I'll be mass ordering from Amazon after a few beers on Friday.

              I'm staying at the Lizard. Supermarket delivery options are Sainsburys or Asda so Sainsburys it is.

              Tesco's also delivery but from the local small store. The number of substitutions last time means its not worth the risk...

                Urgh how downmarket!

                Local specialist supplier for me, makes Majestic look like the wine department in Budgens

                  This year it'll mostly be Sainsbury's, solely because it practically over the road from my flat.

                  Next year, if my Devon farmhouse purchase goes through, it'll be home grown turkeys
