Next time I’m near a Waitrose, I’ll see if I can find some.

I'm tempted to drive to Otley now to go and buy some!

In fact... back in about an hour! :D

I can get some stuff in for dinner too :D

You almost had me thinking I had fallen for it then. But it's March 31st.

Hmm... dunno.

Because your little voice doesn't realise it's the 31st of March today.

That always pisses me off when April Fools Day jokes happen a day or days before - you can't blame anyone for falling for them then unless they're completely out there, and even then it's not in the spirit of the thing, so what's the point? :roll:

Looks like the pineberry doesn't have a lot of history. Perhaps a boycott of Waitrose may be in order if it is a scam.

Now I'm confused... Does your statement mean that I am completely out there, (wherever "there" is) or that I'm not completely out there...

:? :lol:
