Car Journey Torture!
« on: August 23, 2008, 09:25:01 am »
I recently offered to do the driving when a friend and I were visiting Yorkshire and she said she'd bring along nibbles for the journey.  When we stopped, she triumphantly produced from her bag:
1)  Peanut butter cookies
2)  Cinnamon danishes
Now regulars on this board will know that there are probably only two flavours I really don't like and she managed to find both of them!  As I hadn't known her long, my natural good manners(!) meant I had to smile sweetly and force them down.  Next time I will be more assertive!

I would have brought cheese and pickle sandwiches, crunchies, flakes and crisps. Would that be any good?

Or you could have said "Get out of the car, go the shop and buy me something nice."

I would have brought a Kit Kat, prawn cocktail flavour crisps and a big bottle of coke.

I would have thought driving from Boscombe to Yorkshire was torture enough, regardless of snacks!
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Nah, it was fine - don't even need to go through any towns/cities - all motorways and dual carriageways.

Ginger beer is my fave at the moment but I'd also bring ribena.
