I thought we had given up?

[robgil]

The site was closed for a while and because of this I found out we now seem to have some competition.

The forum is a bit slow.
So come on guys , own up , who is Diamond Bob?

Erm, that's an understatement - 2 posts in 2 years, if you discount the moderators!

I don't think PPUK should be too nervous just yet.

 

[robgil]

Ive never seen that site before , I had no idea it was so old.

 

[jocelyn plummer]

Clicking the link froze my computer! PPUK is unique, there is no competition!

 

[Penners]

No competition, eh? Perhaps it's time that PPUK was reported to the Monopolies Commission.

But hang on.... there's only one Monopolies Commission, so it has no competition either.

That can't be right, can it? :?

 

[jocelyn plummer]

Nothing and nobody can compete with the experience, experiences and camaradie of subscribers to PPUK; after all, the rapid switches from serious, nitty gritty facts and advice to kit kats, results from the fact that, over the years, many of us have actually met one another and seen for ourselves the fruits of our labours in restoring and living in a Period Property.

Hear, hear!

So what do you think of the blue kit kat (cookies and cream)? I rather like it - and yes I do know this is sacrilege.

:shock:

Not seen these!

Comes in a blue wrapper. Normal chocolate on the bottom, white chocolate on the top.

Surely the test is whether a blind person be able to tell the difference?

I would probably guess that they would miss the fact that it came in a blue wrapper. 8)

Tosco or Rosewait? ( to quote our local forum's nicknames !!)

Well said Joss!

I have a confession to make. I do not eat kit kats. :shock: I'm still boycotting Nestle, so no kit kats for me. I do however consider DIY decisions over numerous cups of tea, or homebrewed beer, as appropriate for the time of day. May I please be allowed to stay?

Of course you may--- your thought provoking snacks sound very appetising!!

I think (from memory, I admit) that the irony of that finally got through to the Guvmint, and they renamed it "Competition Commission". I'm not sure what competitions it organises these days, but I bet it's the only player in that game too.
