Re: Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd January 2017

I really don't care what's available to the UK consumer and what ain't, I'll make my decisions at the point of purchase.

My post up-thread was a bit of tongue in cheek

Some of you take yourselves far too seriously.

I've been submerged in the world of rugby union today.

Wales and Scotland had last minute luck with them imo.

A very exciting diversion from everything else, including the channels being cut into the walls, a preliminary task for the long awaited kitchen update.
