Got a £5 reduction without any hassle from virgin media on phone tv and broadband deal. Also noticed big savings on gas/electric mainly British Gas but others may follow suit.
Anyone seen anything worth persuing as now is the time prices should be tumbling sadly.

anyone thinking about changing their car at the moment then this is the time to do it. give em a silly offer and see what happens. you could be in for a pleasant surprise.

Update on this is that many of the internet (only) providers are offering deals for as little as £20-£25 a month.
My recently entered deal is £42 for 100mb but comes with phone and Virgin TV so i still think i am overpaying.
But on the plus side my fibre based package is very robust and i rarely have a problem.
Speedchecker calculates i get about 66mb actual.
I have a Virgin email account (NTLworld) and i get virtually no spam etc. (Dont know why as everyone else i knows gets tons of it)

There was virtually no Spam in Morrisons on Thursday, only 2 tins left

Essential lockdown purchase.

Shearings selling 52 seater coaches cheap , could buy one and use it for away games.

Great idea, one of the newish ones they recently bought would be best as they don't smell too much of stale piss.

Also it won't need to go South of anywhere past Solihull next season too

They'll be the ones National Holidays used to take the old uns away on holiday

Even better. You still got your PCV licence/CPC certificate Paulus?

I'll supply the onboard beer n pies

Bus sorted , 5 grand on Ebay. Paulus in charge of the beer and pies , looks like I'm going to have to do a Brian Clough and take my PCV in order to be able to drive it.

you,ll have to be careful of any medication found tucked down at the back of the seats. plenty of bingo pens though to go the team changes with.

Seats ? It hasn't got any seats , it would've cost another thousand with seats , hopefully that wont be a problem

Travelled to many an away game in the past in the back of a van with no seats in. No wonder the arthritis is kicking in these days. Sat on wheel arches, beer crates n plenty of hard wooden benches

Shearings would bring at least 6 coaches a week down here in the Summer.National Holidays and 44 hotels are part SLG group as well..Where's nana going to holiday now?

Stocks and Shares.?

Remember that time we went to Bradford in the back of van? me n you and 8 Sunderland supporters from Peterlee and Blackhall. As soon as you got in the ground you got hit by a brick Stopped in Leeds before and Knaresborough on the way back.

Very much for old people , but those National Holidays were as cheap as chips, and I know a lot of our supporters used them when we played at Torquay and Dover , combining a mini break with the game. 2 night hotel breaks in Liverpool etc for £69 etc excellent value. A lot of hotels will feel the knock on effect as well, as these breaks kept the hotels ticking over during slack periods.

Yes buy at the bottom.

Yes I have used then several times to get to an area you want to explore and then just do my own thing. Seriously the coaches were very comfortable.

Yeah that was some day that. Luckily my NCB donkey jacket softened the blow somewhat. I was lucky at Bramhall Lane also in a 1-1 draw we got there, half brick missed my head outside the ground by literally inches.

NCB donkey jacket.......would really like one of those now. Anyone know of any retro donkey jacket manufacturers?

Some great away days in that 81/82 season.

An animal skin jacket was a must have in the late 70s early 80s. All the other clubs supporters wore Sheepskins , us in the NE wore Donkey Jackets

You might see one on E-Bay but imagine originals would be rocking horse shit now. My dad used to get mine from the pit , as did most miners sons , and we would cut the orange NCB bit off , but bits of orange were always visible around the edges. We must've looked like aliens walking around London.

These look quite smart , would have to get a matching haversack as well though

Yes probably looks a bit to smart to be honest. Being from Artlepool i would probably want a Laings donkey jacket with me havy having a "Led Zepplin" painted with full lead gloss on the flap.

no wonder your bus has no seats in it after it spent 2 nights in liverpool.

Very cosmopolitan is Liverpool these days , at least the city centre is . Like every city in the UK last time I was there I noticed huge student accommodation being built , in former working class communities just outside the centre , they tell me a degree is very handy when applying for a job in LIDL or running your café or nail bar on Facebook. The houses of the poor being demolished , their occupants then slowly killed off by a cocktail of poverty , unemployment , homelessness , alcohol , drug abuse , stabbing each other to death or Covid -19

National Holidays used to use the Adelphi hotel , now that has seen better days.

Cyka blyat!

Any cheap gas for sale?

Only if you're from Salisbury

No problem, but the price of the SNOWYGAZ pipeline will make your eyes water.

It's every Russian's dream to see that famous spire before they die

Or go to Lichfield as the Cathedral has 3

Sheepskin,jeans and Doc Martens.what a look that was.

Nice to see you back Ronnie.

Blyat nacqui yerself!
