It's the one o'clock gun Marian, still gives you a helluva fright if you're in town and don't realise the time.

I disagree about Morrisons ! ..........they do have a good Delicatessen and maybe wines or spirits are sometimes on offer...............but their ordinary groceries are nearly always more expensive than Asda, Aldi or Lidl.............Morrisons never comes top of price comparison tables :wink:

Your turn for the next question Marian :)

Wines are regularly on offer at Morrison's, at the moment one of my favourites is less than half price. Marian (the Jack Jones one) you would like this as I know you enjoy a good red, it's called Lagunilla Reserva from 2008, it has a dark blue and gold label and it's nice and smooth.

Personally I find supermarkets all have their own offers, Asda has some good deals but I find for regular every day stuff they're all the same.

Well as the price was so good Marian I bought eight bottles, some will be Xmas gifts and you are very welcome to one - only snag is you have to make your way here to get it. :shock: :roll:

By the way I am listening to Alfie's new cd again, can you remember if he sang Glory Hallelujah on his tour? My niece is getting me his new dvd for Xmas which will be wonderful as that's the show we both saw.
