Yep, that'll be fine. Well, so long as you include a 2018 Bounty Bar too, so that we can judge the size of the 1980s one.

I've an 2004* Mars Bar, on the left. 2018 Mars Bar on the right.

Just a heads up for all those who have a normal bin day, Friday since you ask,( I've seen some really weird council initiatives on here like having it on a Monday/Wednesday)....Well it's Friday tomorrow so, People Get Ready as The Brand New Heavies sang.
I forgot mine last week and now don't know which it is, lifting the lids make me suspect it's the blue recycling one.

Thanks .
I've done my elderly neighbour's bin but not mine yet .
Last week I had to go back out in my dressing gown to do the pink one because I'd forgotten!

The father of a friend was stockpiling baked beans at the beginning of The Miners' Strike. He was also practicing with his ex-service revolver in his basement in Greenwich.

Get a catapult and some steel balls...…..

Two for me today.
21'369 steps today. I knew I'd been busy but that's high end for me.

Got a Fixed Penalty Notice, £30 or £60 if payment delayed. I knew it was a possibility, took a wrong turn in the dark in Mansfield, did a 3 point turn, and after a few hundred yards saw Buses Only painted in the lane I was now in .
Bogger. Ah well.....

Never mind the food stocks. First of all it's essential to secure the perimeter.

plodcoptor

We used to call it the community policeman when I was growing up. It was a real pain when they first got it. Over-enthusiasm or what.
