SuperGoose75 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Believe me I'm the type to mumble and curse to myself when I see Christmas foods ect.. in the shops,when it is not even Halloween yet! Well we went to Asda last night and I couldn't help myself when I seen these. I usually try most of the supermarket brands and think Lidl's deluxe ones are hard to beat. However these Asda ones are mighty tasty indeed. It might be a bit wrong, but I sometimes l like a slice of sharp cheddar with mine. I no doubt will indulge in a few boxs of these over the next couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsZeppelin Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 It's never too early for minced pies. I'd eat them all year round if I could find them (or if I could teach the missus to bake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to go through any of the NHS dentists for private dentistry, mind you its bloody expensive, I looked at having a couple of implants where I had teeth missing, £2500 per tooth.

Walker570 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 BUT as Ditchie says, why should we? The Government of the day back then upset the Dental profession and so that is why they almost to a practise went private. I only know of one where if you are a registered patient with them they will do NHS work. The NHS across the board is broken and I do not see how it will ever get back to it's former glory. Money is not the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
