No money was exchanged but we did do that as part of an international craft swap once.

You had to take a jar to a local beauty spot or part of your home town, waft it around to capture some air and put the lid on.

Then you had to decorate the jar and send it to your swap partner with a photo of where they were getting air from and a photo of you collecting it!

It was great fun and I got some air from New York!

Sorry, off topic I know

It would be quite fun to do for someone as a surprise in the post, especially if they were a bit homesick and you made the jar pretty and sent some funny photos

By now, we know that, if you can get a Newspaper, (or a Forum) to broadcast Queueing, mayhem & shortages of your Fuel, Toilet Rolls, and now crisps, you can make a fortune!

Anyone putting it onto their Forum is just falling into the trap.

This is (at least) the second posting of the W…ers (insert your own three letters) Crisp stir up, where are the Bots when you need them?

Other makes of crisps are available. :grinning:
A long while ago they were selling fog in tins, goodness knows why.
Now it’s bottled spring water. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Who would ever believe we’d by water in bottles when I was young.

You want to know if I would pay £6-00 for a bag of crisp yeah

I’ve paid £!-99 for a bag at some service station, which I thought I would never do.

I don’t I would £6-00 seems very steep, what are cigarettes £15 a pack… I know smokers over the years saying they’d give up if fags ever got to £5-00 a pack

If we couldn’t get them, I’m sure as laugh for birthday/christmas/present for someone who was addicted to them, £ 6-00 would be well spent

Well, yes, it’s all about supply and demand and how much you want them, isn’t it?

I’m not bothered about crisps, but if there was a chocolate shortage? ……:joy:

Your post made me smile…I often think what would have happened, if someone went on Dragons Dens asking for backing to sell bottled water

Who came up with the idea, bet he’s selling sand to the Arabs
