I get mine from Tesco's or Sainbo's.
Only because Sainsbury's is in town, and Tesco's is on the way home if me and pal go for a drive.

All of a sudden I have a pash on pickled gherkins love the miniature ones but must be in ordinary vinegar not sweet .

If i was very very much younger I might be worried lol

I think the sloe gin might help you more than the pickled onions, Sharron.

We re living in chaos with workmen trampling about our extremely cold home because the doors need to be open so I am pretty wound up and, oh dear, oh dear, we can't find the pickled onions!

I thought I knew where there was another jar in the cupboard under the stairs but it turned out to be a jar of sloe gin.

What use is booze in a time of upheaval? I need the real thing but I can't find them!
