But, Apple do not make conservatory furniture, just (among many other fine products) the occasional exploding phone charger  L0L

They don't make shoes either!  Not part of their "core" business!   _))*

That's sort of my point. Only with products with a certain level of quality pretty much guaranteed, is it wise to buy at the lowest price on eBay. With other items, a degree of caution is called for, as the old adage 'you get what you pay for' may well turn out to be true.

Mind you with branded products you have to be careful not to buy fakes.

If Apple made shoes, you would have to buy a pear!  ;D

Judging by Fester's recent experiences at Llandudno's pool, good luck actually trying to claim the sessions!

Unlike Fester, who i know has at times definitely  struggled to get in the pool when he wants to  Mrs Medz is in the very fortunate position of being able to go swimming during the day and hasn't, since joining the Llandudno gym a couple of months ago, had any issue swimming when she's finished in the gym.

As part of this deal I personally have booked sessions at Colwyn Bay (I believe it's got a sauna,jacuzzi and steam room but if not I'll just swim) for the end of May and middle of June without any problems. I've even mentioned it to our grown up kids in case they want to get vouchers and come over at the weekend in June as well.


I'll feed back on how it goes but it may be worth getting the vouchers now before they close the offer down.

Not wishing to be impolite but why be so negative? I'm only pointing out an offer I've seen. There's no restriction of having to go to the nearest swimming pool, It's free so I can't see that there is anything to lose by trying.

Maybe so SDQ,  but the joke is always on me, as I pay for the pool but can very rarely use it!   :laugh:

This is another of my Llandudno pound shop bargains.
I bought a pack of mixed bulbs a couple of years ago and this is the result. They come up each year but the flowers only last about a day. Haven't got a clue what they are but I would say a bargain!

According to one of my gardening books they are Tigridia pavonia ( Peacock flower or Tiger Flower).
You certainly have a bargain there.

Had a look in Homebase today and found this Christmas tree, complete with lights and all decorations as you see it here, reduced to just £2 :o Now that's a bargain! that makes four trees that we have up now!
