Always The Sun - Richard Durand

Advantages: You meet loads of fellow readers
Disadvantages: You meet loads of fellow readers

...with the glamourous Mac's, imagine somebody these days wearing baggy trousers, flat caps (because of having no umbrella) and woolly gloves to work in the city. ...... MESSAGE FROM THE SUN......... There are regular offers in the Sun for day trips to France on P & O Ferries from Dover to Calais. These are excellent value at £1 per foot passenger, and between £15 and £22 for a car including passengers. The Sun during these periods also has vouchers for many duty paid items either redeemable on board the ferry or in Calais itself, and the reductions are considerable. The ferries themselves are quite new and to a very good standard. Apart from food, drink and duty paid items it is also possible to exchange currency on board.

Advantages: Successful, professional, knows its market
Disadvantages: Brash, trivial, scurrilous, simplistic, self-congratulatory

Advantages: An economical iron from Morphy Rchards
Disadvantages: None

But I have noticed that Morphy Richards have a search facility on their website for this and if you cannot find the part that you are searching for then you can contact their Customer Care Team via the website. Replacing my iron has been on my `To Do` list for some months now and I have only recently got around to doing it. Years... Read review
