Champagne for Christmas?

[Norman_Conquest]

Me too...noticed B and M had the 4 packs of babycham in and the 4 packs of snowballs to go with them.....Merry Christmas Me!!!!!!!!

She's just bought her own Warninks Advocaat to make her own Snowballs.

I'm after a couple of books for her, any suggestions?

@1finny you will be pleased to hear that I grabbed a box of co-op irresistible mince pies this evening and they are delicious as Which say.

I like Tesco's own, never tried the Co-Ops.

 

[Borotommo]

Co-op has the best champagne and the best mince pies according to Which then?. If they top the Christmas cake test too I would smell an insider in the consumer organisation!

They can’t. My Mum makes the best Christmas cake. Superb with a chunk of Wensleydale

Not yet...I haven't been able to start as the mother in law is in hospital so if I'm not at work or asleep I'm up there visiting. Going back a bit I have enjoyed the da vinci code and memoirs of a geisha

There’s a small co-op in Hartburn

 

[NoloBoro]

Where's the Co-op?

Haven't seen one for ages.

Nearest one to where I live is in Marske, I find it expensive

Memoirs of a Geisha is a great book, read it on my honeymoon, not in bed though

Wasn't the main character a pedophile and shouldn't this book be on golascroungers lyrics thread?

Nine-year-old Chiyo, sold by her underprivileged family to a geisha house, faces difficulties. But she becomes a famous geisha, fascinating powerful men. However, her love for one man haunts her.

The wife goes mad when I say this to her when she's watching the film.



A bit left field from Champagne.

I’m not saying I want to play snooker or drink with the characters, it’s interesting in its own way.

Only poking fun at the story mate, which I must admit, is really good.

 

[NZBoro1]

You hadn't put Champagne, carrots or turkey on your list.

I think there are a few Co-Ops in East Cleveland.

Sure there is one in Skelton high street

Sedgefield, Wynyard, Brookfield, Roseworth, Hartburn, Ingleby Barwick, Eaglescliffe, Yarm, Stokesley, Marske, Skelton. They do tend to go for locations more rural or market towns rather than town centre as there pricing is aimed at convenience rather than weekly shop

Animal Farm???

 

[Juninhoburger]

Co-op are the sole wholesale supplier to Costcutter across the UK & Ireland, and annoyingly their own brand stuff is much more expensive there as a result.

The nearest Co-Op to me is in Great Ayton, which is a canny drive. I have a Costcutter which is a 5 minute walk.

Now you are talking fella. I’ll get the marketing team to ignore Which and we’ll see
’Zoophonic’s Favourite Mince Pies’ out there

 

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

There is a Co-op in Ingleby Barwick at the rings, used to be two but one is an Asda local now and far better for it, massive price reduction and more of a mini supermarket in terms of its range rather than a larger petrol station shop,

One at the Oval in Brookfield, IIRC

No worries mate, over the years I’ve enjoyed lots of books/films that later cause you concern when you really think about the people, things that happened etc.

I like Champagne but I have to eat something substantial before drinking it, because otherwise it gives me severe heartburn. I am a bit cynical with these surveys, even Which, as they tend to take cost considerations into account but the headlines don't.

Hate Christmas Pudding, Christmas Cake, Mince Pies and anything with Marzipan. On Christmas Day I am going to have a curry.
