Alanww, as you choose to ignore my PM, I have to go public with it:

Ok, if the amount is not the problem, I only have to find out what version of the snuff-stuff I should buy.

Problem is, none of my colleagues take the stuff, my family also does not, so I am pretty much on my own on this.

Would you prefer just one big helping of one sort or several smaller helpings of different kinds (if that is possible at all with the given price limit - you see I do not know anything about the snuff-stuff)?

As I said in my PM ... which presumably must have got lost somewhere in outer space ...
"We would suggest several sorts - but not menthol-based as I said before. In England a small tin/plastic container sells for about £2. So if the price is similar, perhaps six such containers would be fine - three each. I do have one German snuff at present - Bernard's Brazil, which is great. We leave it to you. The retailer should be able to advise!"
But to be even clearer Snuffy and I tend to like the flowery and possibly herbal types of snuffs, which usually have a bit of a bite to them, rather than the blow-your-head-off varieties like menthol or aniseed - but we are willing to try new ones! And we won't moan if the retailer's choice turns out not to be our own! We will still enjoy the change.

Mrs Duck, the camping and caravans are close to each other by the railway, well within earshot of each other!!!
I'm getting the flyers done this week so that the locals know what's going on.
How many children are there? There's a young lady here who is a natural child entertainer, and I'm sure we can press her into service for a small consideration. She would show the bored teenagers around too. I'll ask her.
I could really do with knowing who else needs accommodation, so I can ask people here to clear floor space.

Bore da, Bronwen. I'm still hoping to come, but like Gareth (who BTW I think still owes me a pint of Skull Attack) I'm not sure about pitching a tent in mid-October. However I have got the weekend free, so if all goes well I can set off from Wirral mid-afternoon on Friday, and arrive in Llanfair Ceireinion before dark. I can bring some Cheshire Cheese (the real stuff-from Mrs Appleby's farm), and maybe a large Game Pie from my local butcher.
Hope to see you soon!

Excellent, Matthew. If you are happy to camp on someone's floor, it can be arranged!!! Otherwise the campsite is nice and sheltered, and it's not really cold yet. This time last year, we were on the middle of the wettest autumn in living memory!!
Cheers, Bron.

Morticia, is the room at Pippins suitable for my mum? She wants to come too, but can't stay in the caravan. BTW, she sings, drinks and plays melodeon (mine) and accordion (hers).

And she's a lovely lady and will fit in excellently. I'm sure there'll be a place for Helen to sleep, she doesn't take up much room!

There are three double rooms at Pippins, and, as Micca rang Julia and booked them all, she's a bit confused about who is staying.
She's not the only one!!!
I assume it's Morty and Gomez in one, Liz and child in the other, and Micca in the third. Is that right? If so, I'll find somewhere for John's Mum.
Cheers, Bron.

I had actually rung her and confirmed one room for Phoebe and I, she wasn't sure about the others.... but I'd say yes, that's a safe bet.... all the softy southerners indoors, very incestuous too!!

Us hardy Cymri (Welsh) will sleep in the tent, longbow near to hand in case the Saxons cross the March.

And if you want the history

WELSH HISTORY 101
by Heather Rose Jones

If ever you wander out by the Welsh border
Come stop by and see me and all of my kin
I'm Morgan ap Daffyd ap Gwion ap Hywell
Ap Ifor ap Madoc ap Rhodri ap Gwyn
We'll feast you on mutton and harp for your pleasure
And give you a place to sleep out of the cold
Or maybe we'll meet you out on the dark roadway
And rob you of horses and weapons and gold

My neighbor from England has come across raiding
Slain six of my kinsmen and burned down my hall
It cannot be borne this offense and injustice
I've only killed four of his, last I recall
I'll send for my neighbors, Llewellyn and Owain
We'll cut him down as for the border he rides
But yesterday Owain stole three of my cattle
And first I'll retake them and three more besides

We need a strong prince to direct our resistance
Heroic, impartial, of noble degree
My brother's wife's fourth cousin's foster-son, Gruffydd
Is best for the job as I'm sure you'll agree
What matter that Rhys is the old prince's nephew
He's exiled to Ireland and will not return
I know this for every time boats he is building
I send my spies money to see that they burn

Last evening my brother and I were at war
Over two feet of land on a boundary we share
But early this morning, I hear he's been murdered
I'll not rest until I avenge him, I swear
Yes, we are just plain folk who mind our own business
Honest and loyal and full of good cheer
So if you should wander our by the Welsh border
Come stop by and meet all the friendly folk here

The Ash Grove was one of the first tunes I learned on the whistle. But I haven't improved since then.

I actually thought the other room at Pippins was for Kendal!! at least ,that was the intention at the time,I dont mind who uses it the intention was Me in one...morty and Gomez, and Kendall, but I am happy for Liz and the fair Fibi do have the other!! so we might need a room for Kendal, Bron, if he can be prevailed on to extend his stay!!!!

They are double rooms, Micca, any chance of you sharing if Kendall comes?
We'll be glad to see you, Gareth, and I love that song (no, not Cosher Bailey, the other one!!)
