We are on holidays in New England in the USA in a couple of weeks and one of the towns we will be visiting was the location for some of the famous Budweiser Christmas ad. I will definitely be making a detour to see this beautiful house as featured in the ad. Hmmm, wonder what the chances of snow in September are

I was trying to reply to say I agree not worth the price but look nice.

I saw Selection Boxes in a Market today - €1 each! Rushed over to the stall and wouldn't y'know it - they were out of date since April
They may have been ok but.....
To make up for the disappointment I treated my self to a box of "Mulled Wine Tea" in a Polish Supermarket. 0 -

Oh believe me I thought about it! But then they would have been in and out of a van in all sorts of temprature changes and there's nothing worse than opening a SB and finding that awful white mould on the bars (Christmas 1981)
Actually, we are hoe-ing our way through a tin of Roses, Heroes & Quality Street from last Christmas:o:o All fine. Damn Supervalu and their €6 tins!;) 0 -

Been there my friend! As soon as they appear in the shops we're like "We'll buy them now, and put them away for Christmas." They go into the cupboard for all of about 5 hours, 2 days later all that's left is the empty tin and the wrappers, and the process starts all over again "This time they're definately going away!" , alas they never do 0 -
My trick is to stow them in the car boot - well hidden under coats, wellies and the o/h's pressies and then stash a tin in the kip that is the spare room.Been there my friend!

The problem with Chez Wash is the annual fight over which we get - Roses, Quality Street or Heroes so I tend to get all three. Hence the glut later in the year.
Has there ever been a poll run on the Nation Of Boards favourite Christmas Tin of Sweets?0 -

That would be a dangerous poll, highly emotive issue is that!
Also, it would degenerate into how much the tins of sweets have disimproved over the last few years. They have got too cheap and the quality is suffering. I would actually prefer if they were the old price and old quality. They are supposed to be a treat, at €6 per tin, me and the hubby were polishing off a tin a week! We were pig sick of them by Christmas!0 -

Yeah! We were saying last week, where have all the round sweets gone out of Roses. They were always the last ones left in the tin, but they were some of my favourites. They just seem to have disappeared.0 -

Yeah, the whirly one with the hazelnut centre has been changed beyond recognition
There was a lovely one in a green wrapper that was a long ridgy shape with some sort of praline centre - also gone.
Had a discussion yesterday about the Santa visit we take my sisters kids on - it may be teamed up with the Panto this year!0 -
