If you were in the room, it couldn't have been empty.

Yehbut, I am not all there so do not count.

You're saying you're only half here!
Where's the other half in that case?

Mrs G had a call from Vodafone this morning trying to sell her a new phone. At the moment, she is on simm only and pays £13 a month. She is happy with that as she gets free calls and unlimited texts. They are telling her that she pays nothing really and want her to start a new contract at £20 a month ! She told then that she is retired, on a fixed income and happy with £13 she is paying now. They were not happy .
I am with "3" , simm only too and I pay £10 a month, free calls and unlimited texts as well. I advised her to go with "3" when her contract finishes in October.
Either of us are interested in a all singing, all dancing phone, although she uses hers far more than I use mine.

Me know nothing but that seems a lot of money.
I just got a new phone and contract from Virgin. Free calls, unlimited texts plus data. £12.00 pet month for the lot.
I could have had sim only for £7.00

I'm with Talk Mobile, piggy backing off Vodafone.
I used to pay £5 a month for 2gb, 500 minutes and 5000 texts.
I've just changed the plan to unlimited everything for £20 a month mainly to get WiFi when we are away in the van.
Cheaper than paying BT £30 for 5 days WiFi when we are away.
I use my phone as a hot spot and MrsD connects to it when necessary.

Do you know what the terms are for use in mainland Europe? May be tempted by that offer, I have a Talktalk SIM (free) which I don't use.

Not sure, maybe I should go looking for it, any idea where to start?

My days of going to the continent are over, I reckon.
So not bothered about that.

Half of a 'Snack size Cod & Chips'.

No wonder there's so many fatties around.

Yeah.... similar here.
I wouldn't mind 2 or 3 weeks mid France as its somewhere we have never explored.
Driven through it often enough to see how interesting it is but never stayed there.

Sorry but that doesn't appeal to me at all. It looks very dry and I hate mushy peas.

I thought liking mushy peas was mandatory on here.
MODS..... banish this man to hell

Only applies to British people, those of us with finer taste buds are more discerning about what we eat.

I cant abide mushy peas.

Gavroche, you bought an ebike yet?
