Thumbs up Hovis Ad on TV

Wow - Now that is one awesome advert.

If you haven't seen it yet - keep an eye out for it

Not gonna post any spoilers here other than to say I wouldn't be surprised if it won an advertising award.

Oi Oi RichyG!

Abbey finally repaid the £3K, but only after I got in touch with the Banking Ombudsman(sp)

Hope all's well with you! What job you on out there?

Can I ask a favour? The Mrs loves Jasmine Tea - would a small tin fit in your luggage ???
