try and sell the voucher for half of face value, that’s what I would do.
Only sales reps shop at Burton’s !

Rod,
A word of warning …. buying an abundance of polo shirts is the slippery slope to Middleagedandsafeville and very addictive. Owning a couple is acceptable but before too long you’ll have ruled out shirts and t-shirts and become trapped in the polo shirt vortex!

I seem to have an more than sufficent polo shirts, you’re quite right. They are one of the few items of ‘quality’ clothing I can buy in this area which may account for some of it.
I shall take heed as your boho chic style demands I should

I was at the range in the Goldeneye galley this morning, you’ve got to do it yourself, only way to make sure it’s right
I recommend avoiding Next at all costs, I would also extend this warning to all age brackets - just say no !
There are several venues in your fine cathedral city that can provide all that you need.
If you’re not sure which ones, stop at each and look at the prices in the window, if they seem acceptable to you move on - I thye make you feel like legging it go in !
Remenber, there are no pockets in a shroud !

Sound advise, only room for one cook in the kitchen and all that.
There are several venues in your fine cathedral city that can provide all that you need.
Yes there are ….. can I leave a comment on them ? ….
such as the Museum, Castle and the Cathedral.
If you’re not sure which ones, stop at each and look at the prices in the window, if they seem acceptable to you move on -
If they make you feel like legging it go in !
You have obviously seen me legging it through the high street at break-neck speed clutching my wallet !

Rod ,
I remember you having a funny turn outside Equus in Lincoln
I still have a funny turn at the prospect of spending Money.
Though that said,
I never had a funny turn when I bought the Omega ,
which was money well spent.
The price of which has completely gone out of my head,
but what I can remember is Lunch was two-for-one that day in the Pub,
what a result.

when I bought the Omega
Indeeed you did not, your finest hour IMHO !
I seem to recall that 2 for 1 offer only seemed to be on when it was your turn to pay, I never seemed to land it !
Story of my life - close but no cigar !
