An In Flight Staple……….

With our three years in the waiting return to our beloved Greece sort of soon, we’ve, to be honest, had our euros and suitcases packed for a while now, but with all the delays and kerfuffle at the airports in the UK, we are understandably very nervous. All we can really do now is hope that the Greek God and Goddesses are looking down on us kindly and offer safe passage.

However, in order to help keep us all in a positive frame of mind, Darrel has been in tangible and palpable upbeat mood as well as a man on a mission.

Now, our very favourite treat of choice, once the seatbelt sign goes off at 37,000 feet and the refreshment trolley starts to trundle down the aisle is a giant Twix with a just about palatable coffee, however we’ll be honest, we always balk at the price of said Twix, giant or otherwise.  So this year, after downloading the in-fight menu to peruse the prices and finding that a 50g Twix is £1.50, Darrell decided enough was enough and that he’d harness his pre-holiday jitters by trying to find the equivalent of Twix for a lot less, thus ensuring us the opportunity for more gyros when we get to Crete.

Nigel,  was doubtful and said it couldn’t be done, he said Darrell would either only be able to find the usual 2 pack of normal sized Twix’s or perhaps a multipack of single (but still normal size) Twix fingers, but giant in-flight Twixes,  no way!

Oh he of little faith! This morning Darrel returned home from town in buoyant and tres jubilant mood having secured three packs of 75g Twix Xtra for just 59p each……… not only saving us a mahoooooosive, above the clouds  £2.63, but also gaining an extra 75g (25g each) of noms and now all packed safe and ready for mid- flight consumption in Darrell’s hand luggage. What a shopper! What a hero! 

……. and what are we like?
