Steamport Southport Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Aren't they available all year round now? Pretty sure I've seen them on shelves during the summer. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 All year round at the ASDA and I'm pretty sure I've seen the Kipling ones being sold without the Xmas packaging. https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/01/christmas-is-four-months-away-so-asda-is-of-course-selling-mince-pies-10665414/ Can't stand the things personally.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted December 8, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2019 Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. 'In honour of this Chrismas season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' The Englishman fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It's a candle', he said. 'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said. The Scotsman reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.' Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'. The Irishman started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?' Kelly said, 'These are Carol's.' 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kingzance Posted December 20, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2019 To the tune of Silent Night: Pannier tanks, Prairies too, Mid Chrome Green, black won’t do. Flowers and Birds, Castles and Star, Halls and Saints all journey so far. Chocolate and cream forever, Chocolate and cream forever. With apologies to: Franz Xavier Gruber for the tune, Joseph Franz Mohr for the original lyrics, and to followers of other Big Four companies and those who are not lovers of all things kettle. Happy Christmas. Kingzance 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted December 29, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well I hope you all had a great Christmas. By the way, anyone who got a book from me for Christmas, don't forget that they are due back at the Library on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
