Coincidentally we saw Foie gras on sale in Harrods at London last week, I actually thought it was illegal in this country, I guess that's the making of it and not the sale?


That's correct, it goes against animal welfare laws I believe but you're allowed to import it from countries where they have more relaxed animal welfare laws which makes naff all sense to me but there you go

No I agree if it's illegal to produce it due to animal welfare then surely it should be illegal to sell it as well?

Take proper pictures then. Not the low quality rubbish phones produce. Selfie sticks should be made illegal. Got hit with 3 times by them while on hols last week, the last one will have to buy a new one. Pet hate

People who have to park in a petrol station on the side their fuel tank is on, even if it means delaying others when there are free pumps available cause they can't get in the entrance. The pumps are long reach and will quite easily reach the far side of your car, stop delaying the rest of us cause you can't he bothered to drag the pump an extra few feet to your fuel tank.

I've got a Panasonic TZ57 and to be honest I prefer the pictures my IPhone 6 takes, not the front facing camera but the main one. They just look nicer and as I don't plan on blowing them up to giant size or even printing them off the fact they then go straight to the IPad for easy viewing on the TV swings it. I've taken some cracking pics using the Hipstamtatic app that adds different filters and effects, I'd attach one but the file size is too big.

Non-contactless bank cards and many credit cards won't.

Effectively contactless card let you spend money you don't have. With pay at the pump a nominal amount is authorised at the pump (check your available balance before and after and you'll see) and the full payment is then debited 1-2 days later when the petrol station's bank fully process the payment. That will go out whether or not you have the money to cover it. Many people don't want that option and equally there are many customers that the banks don't want to be able to do that!

Fuel is always cheaper in mansfield, infact most places around us pay less than town for some reason?

Yep, bonkers! I've seen it much cheaper in more affluent areas of Sheffield than poorer areas of both Sheffield and chesterfield...

And they never change the receipt roll, I have missed out on loads of VAT now so I always pay inside.
