Hunt the Jaffa Cakes is MUCH more fun than Hunt the Easter Eggs. It's a game you can play the whole year through.

Now then, If rumour control is to be correct then by tomorrow dinnertime there will be the announcement that the undercarriage leg is back and ready to fit. :)

Question. 'How long is one supposed to hold one's breath?' :D

Question. 'Would that be above or below the waterline?' :-o

We all await in anticipation for the announcement tomorrow. ~x(

No prizes for what we think that will be. [-x

That drip tray would take a hundred pound turkey, not sure you would be able to find an oven to cook it in though! ;)
