Curry will you buy me a 1p chew with the change from your 99p ?  I like fruit salads, but if you still have the penny change from your last purchase you could maybe even stretch to a 2p chew? 

Thanks .


Ohhh I just thought, if everyone who buys a 99p set of knee pads clubbed their change together, I might even get a Refresher.

Have you bought your second pair yet Curry?  I bet you will look the bee's knees in them.  What about a picture?  You could attach the second pair to your arms and fly to the allotment...............weeeeeeeee.   Hope they haven't sold out.  No good for me though as I can't kneel.

Ignoring those interruptions, back to hands and knees.

Yes, I can't beat free, Steveuk, providing your wife doesnt find a way to get her own back ...  ::)

And doing a partial referral to another thread, so as to tangle everyone up, will you be declaring them either a HIT or a MISS ...  ;D

and to throw another spanner in the works.....well the thread does include hands :)

their 99p packet of 40 yes 40!! latex gloves are a brilliant buy (for me anyway) I've got little hands that go with my little body  ;D and I use them for washing up, picking produce, preparing veggies and other things too and one pair last several times, depending on what you do in them - I don't think that's at all bad!

HP I'm giving them a thumbs down I'm afraid :-\...... do you think I could Demand a Refund?  ::) I always wear those latex gloves for work & I'd been paying £1 for 20.....so.......when I saw those Poundshop ones.......

First lot were OK - great! but then the subsequent ones AND the ones after that must have been packed when they were still hot-from-the-press?????????? :'( No b. good at all)......back to the more expensive-but-reliable 20 for £1 for me......you're right, tho, they'll go on and on if not punctured....they DO make your hands sweat & get full of moisture, but leaving them alone + then a squirt of talc & they're as good as new 8)

I like the 99p packs of yellow washing up gloves; I use them for beekeeping, and they last till they get covered in propolis and stick to everything.

I was going to ask what 'propolis' was then ... until I realised that I had a very strange vision in my head of an A4A member with yellow Marigolds on trying to wipe something sticky off his fingers.

I will not ask. I refuse.

And as for kneepads: I've spent many an afternoon on my knees searching for 10p pieces under the settee and I can thoroughly recommend the ones you buy in builders' merchants. Also useful for begging for payment (if you're a builder) for things you've built that the client didn't actually ask for.

WELL COVER UP THEN ... HONESTLY!!!!! IT'S AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY. YOU SHOULD BE AT A GARDEN PARTY OR SOMETHING, NOT FLASHING YOUR YELLOW BUM AT PEOPLE WHO GENUINELY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT KNEE-PADS.

I DESPAIR ... I REALLY DO  ::)

P.S. LEAVE THE CHICKEN'S BEAK OUT OF IT ....
