      Maybe you shouldn’t add off topic comments in the FS then and if you think the moderation is heavy handed then feel free to use another forum, we don’t force members to do anything, but we do like them to stick to the rules we do have....

       

      Merry Christmas!

      Lagavulin 16 year old.  Not a cheap malt but such a lovely taste.

      You can get a 20cl bottle for about £17 which may be ideal for a present.  70cl comes in at £55 a bottle

      I'm particularly partial to Glen Marnoch 18 y/o and Highland Park 12 y/o.

      As Gaz says, Glenfiddich is also a nice drop, I personally prefer the 15 y/o but they also do 12 and 18.

      I've never understood why they remove your cart to be honest, until the item is paid for, it won't show as sold, so it's not like it's losing sales by showing things as out of stock.

      On the flip side, RCbitz is as bad but the other way round, if you leave something in your cart you get about 500000 emails asking you to complete your purchase :lol:

      ;-)

  24. Poxy bloody poxy crappy RCModelz site... had a near £300 order in my cart, been browsing all evening.  Left it for what I thought was a short while and the carts empty...  :cussing2:
