I remember when Tesco 1st started the offer, the bottles of wine alone would be found in the wines & spirits aisle for the price of the deal. The one day, they replaced it with £5 plonk.

Trouble is, if you don't open the box, you won't actually know if the TV is in it & won't be able to sleep anyway, wondering, is it......or isn't it.

FTFY.
Come on Neil, have you opened it......................... or gone to bed?
The debates are usually about what's ON the box, but we haven't got beyond what's IN the box yet. Good job you don't have to fit a plug on them nowadays!

Thinking of getting a new car. Nobody has the exact spec I want in stock. So choices are
- The spec I want minus one option.
- The spec I want plus a couple of options I don't want, including the extra cost.
- Order the exact spec I want and wait around 6 months for it to be built.

A house I had up for sale recently had such a vacuum in the double garage, only one I have ever seen though.

We bought a car at the weekend, a second car, it is lovely, and I bet it cost less than the ONE OPTION.

My hands don't get cold when I am driving. I doubt I would use it.
£200 ?
I remember seeing some new builds with the 'piped in' vacuum cleaning system in South Africa about 20 years ago. Don't think it ever became mainstream though.

You don' spell Beemer like that
Sadly not this one, but thinking about it, I have bought at least five cars in the past which cost less than £200 - Triumph Dolomite 1850HL, BMW 2002, Alfa 1.6 Giulietta, Ford Cortina MK3 (less said about that one the better
), VW Polo MK1 (that cost £25, and it cost another £25 to get it through an MOT).

I went to a music festival in Spain about 10 years ago and it was full on teenage Londoners who had just finished their A-levels. The boy's toilets, I repeat the boy's toilets at a music festival had a queue of lad's waiting to use the power outlet to straighten their hair!!!

We went on an organised tour to India a few years back. One of the other people on the trip was an American lady who had no idea of the third world. She got upset the first night because the restaurant didn't have any ketchup. She kept asking for "vodka rawks" and didn't seem to understand why the waiters couldn't understand what she wanted (it took us a while to figure out that she actually meant vodka on the rocks). Later on when she was served up naan bread, she looked at it sceptically and asked if it was thin crust pizza and was stuffed crust available? The worse thing was she claimed to be an international air hostess so you'd have thought she'd be used to foreign cultures... I became more convinced that she just flew internal flights the more we got to know her. Either that or she was incredibly thick.

I was on a trip in Jordan, trekking in the Wadi Rum desert.
One woman complained because she expected there to be toilets.

Similar to Larry's tale of "Vodka Rawks", a guest at a hotel we stay in while on holiday spoke no English and the landlady who was behind the bar spoke no Danish. When the guest walked up to the bar and said "Ya mas!", the landlady (and we) answered likewise - "ya mas" is Greek for "Cheers!". After several repetitions of this, with the guest getting a bit agitated, sign language got the guest behind the bar where she went straight to a bottle of Jaegermeister, apparently known in Denmark as Ja'mas!

manufacture?4. go to a proper manufacture
If you mean manufacturer, as only one manufacturer makes the car that would be somewhat difficult.
I've sent the dealer an enquiry with choice 1 in stock. They have 7 cars in group stock and the closest is priced at above the "On the Road" price quoted on the manufacturer's site, whilst all the other cars they have are below the manufacturer price. Just waiting to see if they have missed something off the list of extras fitted.
