I love the discription even got the date wrong too

We have 8 packets of Crisps for sale. There are various brands but all of them are Salt and Vinegar flavour. My wife regularly buys multi pack crisps yet neither of us like S&V. Despite this fact, they are all put in the cupboard and as the good flavours are taken the S&V fall to the back of the cupboard where they remain.
You will have noticed that I have listed this item under Household Collectables. Whilst these items are not exactly antiques, some did pass there Best Before Date in Dec 2011. However, they have been in our family for some time now and I feel it is now time that another family can benefit from these items.

Good morning everyone

"It is hoped another family can benefit from them"

I wonder how? with a dose of Cryptosporidium perhaps :o
Kind regards Stephen

Sorry Keith, but your new signature block is too large - could you reduce it in size please to a max of 600 x 100 pixels (see here: http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 68&t=58274)

Thanks

Ash

Well as I sit here waiting for The Brooklyn Bridge to be delivered - bought it off this fellow down the market - I can't help feeling that there are one or two gullible people out there.

I'm concerned that they have a specified section on Ebay. It implies many people are buying them on the site.
