It's one of those classic Bank Holidays - a mixture of car boot sale euphoria and jobs-around-the-house blues! I've just hoovered the car - it was covered in dog hairs and I'm sure each one had been super-glued to the seats! It's taken soddin' ages! And technology is failing all around me like Christmas in Ludditesville - the security button on my photo SD card has gone for a burton and now I can't take snaps anymore with it! What a pointless and infuriating device! Hopefully some bright spark online eons younger than me will have worked out a simple and blitzschnell DIY way of de-write protecting it with some bacofoil and a comb!
Better news on the booty from the Castleford boot sale front [no pics I'm afraid!]: Striker football game boxed, Subbutteo football game boxed, Star Mission Armoured Truck, Battery Op Godzilla from the 70's and a pile of Sindy furniture. I passed up on the following: MAC vehicle [incomplete], Dr.Dolittle Rex Harrison doll [too dear], Crossfire boxed x 2 [too big], Sid James Snooker Game boxed [too dear] and a full set of The Race Into Space Brooke Bond tea cards in an album for £2 [couldn't find it again!].
The sunsequent trip to Lidl, that tuetonic pleasure dome in everyone's town, proved fruitful as well. I'd read on the Cup o tea and a Biscuit and a nice sit Down forum that the long extinct TAXI wafer bar had surfaced at said Lidl. They were right! I bought several packets just to make sure I wasn't dreaming! No Bandits I'm afraid though Maverick! They also have their own-brand Zoom we've been mind-licking recently, called rather quaintly Rocket Lolly, nestling right next to boxes of Fab! I'll be finding packets of Instant Whip next! The Sixties never really went away, they just slapped a different label on it!
Well, back to the here and now. Our very scruffy house needs tidying everywhere for friends staying, the garden looks like a bomb's dropped on it after the weekend's storm and there's birthday cake to be scoffed! Bank Holidays ain't so bad.
In my search last night (just mentioned one post up!) I also found the cup'o tea people, one of the websites said that a Taxi IS a Bandit? Taxi's apparently had no chewy bit first time round?
ReplyDeleteBut then I found people crediting Bandits to three different companies so what do they know!!!!
