Whoa, hang on a minute, when did school dinners become school lunches? Is it a southern thing? The natural order of mealtimes is breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, as any fule kno.

 

Quite right, don't know what came over me, must be the influence of that Mayonnaise at lunchtime(!)

 

Thinking about it though, yes we did call them school dinners, and lunch is a word that has an ever so slightly irritatingly pretentious air about it.

 

I'm not entirely sure about "supper" either....

Not as pretentious as 'luncheon', however. Now that's really pretentious (except in pork luncheon meat if it's still available).

Is that on the H website ?

Perhaps they have reinstated it ?

 

All the best

No, on here!

 

It was the same as part of the image AY attached to the first post of this topic, but didn't include the TT or the bus. 

 

That said, I also get adverts on here that coincide with recommendations I have received from Amazon, Wex Photographic (etc.) and which presumably originate externally.

Wouldn't mind a screenshot please if you see it again John as it sounds like a programmatic Google Ad that Hornby have placed.

Careful Mike, a post like that will send The Daily Wail Online into frenzy and another round of panic buying.

 

C6T, 

Fortunately our current stockpile is pretty good as we normally only buy when they are reduced in price - at which juncture we buy several 16 roll packs every week or 9 roll if they're reduced instead of the 16 roll packs if they aren't reduced.

Are you still using Izal if it’s weighty enough to dent a tin of beans? 

 

:rtfm:       ;) 

Amongst my ephemera collection I do have a GWR toilet roll which definitely appears to have been supplied by Izal judging by the nature of the paper.  With typical GWR panache for making money 'every' sheet (not that I've ever unrolled it so maybe not all the way?) carries advertising - although not for the railway company.

Salad cream, my old bean  (cooked).         I'll not be having any of that Posh mayonnaise stuff.

I believe it has been established in another thread that now post B****t any inference to a continental influence in our language is linguistic taboo…..oops……that’s a different continent entirely it’s OK. :D

If it does reappear, I'll have a go, but I'd already clicked the X when I realised what it was!

And copious tea breaks between them all.

Still available although I prefer Chicken luncheon meat which I order from my supplier of corned mutton.

Comestibles via the internet is one of the joys of modern life along with being able to source Eurovision albums from around the world with a click of the button and without needing a trip to a shop in London.

Does anyone know why I can't find the "Trains on Film" items on the Hornby website? I haven't read the previous posts?

 

FTFY.
