bruce Posted 12 February , 2015 Share Posted 12 February , 2015 Chris is of course absolutely right, and if the fig roll was visible in my cheek while I posted I apologise. Keith Oh, Keith. I thought better of you!you mean you actually eat those fig things???? Or was it just for a bet? There must be some good explanation why someone of such perspicacity and taste could possibly descend to eating one of those objects.

keithmroberts Posted 13 February , 2015 Share Posted 13 February , 2015 bruce There are few pleasures to match a mug of tea and a fig roll. I have approached the conference organiser to ensure that a supply is provided for the afternoon break.I am hopeful. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 13 February , 2015 Share Posted 13 February , 2015 About time too - fig roll-less for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 13 February , 2015 Share Posted 13 February , 2015 I shall have to reconsider my attendance. I had not realised that the GWF officially sanctioned the consumption of those awful comestibles. When did this become policy? I feel that an Extra ordinary AGM may need to be called to fully discuss the matter. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Holstein Posted 16 February , 2015 Share Posted 16 February , 2015 I don't like fig rolls. May I have a slice of Marmite toast instead? Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverforget Posted 17 February , 2015 Share Posted 17 February , 2015 Thanks - I'll reserve you a space Thank you, Alan. My cheque is in the post. Looking forward to my first one. Speaking as a native, I can tell you that there is a half decent pub very nearby, which has a choice of between four and six real ales on tap, and comfy armchairs and sofas to sit on.

neverforget Posted 19 March , 2015 Share Posted 19 March , 2015 Thank you, Alan. My cheque is in the post. Looking forward to my first one. Speaking as a native, I can tell you that there is a half decent pub very nearby, which has a choice of between four and six real ales on tap, and comfy armchairs and sofas to sit on. To my great regret, I will not be able to attend after all. Entirely my fault. I completely miscalculated my shift pattern, and am now too late to book it as a holiday. Hopefully, my missing out will give someone else a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
