We don't get Aldi own brand penguin bars in Germany.

Expatriate life is full or hardships.

Just compare the wine prices!

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

We had a Bond three wheeler but not the Bug. Pathetic brakes and to start you lifted the bonnet and kick started the motorbike engine.
This was our first step up from a Lambretta 150cc which served us well.
Traded it in for an A30 van with windows and a prominent crease in the front bulkhead. This did not seem to affect it at all and it performed perfectly.

My brother had one of those. Graduated from a Mobylette.
Reversing was the oddest process.
Seemed easier to get out and push the thing into a space.

You could drive a three wheeler on a motorcycle licence If it had reverse a full driving licence was required With the bond three wheeler it wasn’t a problem as they were light enough to push in to and out of a parking space.

Came across almond butter in Sainsbos the other day. Doesn't seem much different, except in price.

Never tried it , i presume it was more expensive ?

 

[biggs682]

Pretty sure i said earlier that life got complicated when others get involved and tonight has proven that again sometimes it's just easier to do it yourself

As I remember there was no reverse. But as with my current delta trike the turning circle was tight. Pushing back was the only reverse as such.

Had some sliced bbq pork with a jacket potato topped with cheese & coleslaw, then an orange and some melon for afters.

Currently waiting upon a Bay of E auction to get closer to its finish before sticking a bid in.

Having and toast ready to watch the final of the sewing bee. Have an idea who will win.

After a sunny & warm day, it's now raining near the Suffolk coast. Yet another busy day at work - moving, pallet wrapping and then moving again the 40 odd pallets that we detained yesterday then having the torture of examining & tallying a container load of beer without being able to touch a drop!

Please could I have a quiet day on Thursday.

Been raining here since about 6pm , so it's saved me from watering the veg and fruit plants and hopefully topped up the water butts

Starting to think what bikes in my fleet will form the backbone of my winter bikes

That reminds me, I picked up some walnut butter the other day in Lidl. One from their ''Italiamo'' range. I'll try to remember I have it when it comes to breakfasting.

Snaffled the two issues of Spedeweek I was after on the 'bay.

What did you impound this time?

Would be like me being asked to tally a container load of chocolate without being able to check it for quality control.

Just the usual fake trainers with a tick like trademark and some very high end mens' fragrances - not yet confirmed as fake, but they don't have factories in China OR make the type of gift sets we found which is a subtle giveaway

Pre-Bexit we quite often had to examine container loads of sweets or chocolates (mostly ftom Turkey for some reason) and these DID have to be legitimately sampled
