What is a Lezzer?

[080311 in reply to Edwen_]

Hi, member of the forum.

[Lezzers in reply to Edwen_]

Thats me! 😂

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Edwen_]

There is only one Lezzers.!In fact if there were two I am unsure how to form the plural? Would it be Lesseres or Lesserai? And as for the plural possessive my head hurts!

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

😂 😂 Fortunately??? There is only one me! 😂

[Lezzers]

I spotted this a few weeks ago, cant help shaking the bottle everytime i go in there!! Certainly very eye catching! 😂

[080311 in reply to Lezzers]

Hi, tried to buy on line for daughter-in-law but it’s not available as yet, thought it would be a nice gift as it could be delivered straight to her, and doesn’t seem likely that we will be seeing family over Christmas 😩 Hope it maybe becomes available. She loves a gin and tonic👌

[Lezzers in reply to 080311]

Im surprised its not on line yet, particularly as the Christmas food catalogue is out. And yes it would make a very nice Christmas present

[080311 in reply to Lezzers]

Yes thought so too, I live in Scotland they are on the south coast so getting it delivered is a great way to go for us.

[Lezzers in reply to 080311]

When we were in lockdown trying to avoid supermarkets & struggling to get shopping slots we ordered their fruit baskets a couple of times. Wasnt cheap but was very worth it, i would certainly recommend thinking of something like that if you can't get the gin! Not quite the same though! 😂

[080311 in reply to Lezzers]

She is into healthy eating so fruit basket sounds good though she does like a gin😂 son does too come to that 😂 Have ordered the Cheese hamper for him thought the gin would go well but if they are not doing it on line will have to think again but your suggestion of the fruit basket sounds great. Thank you.

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to Lezzers]

They'll have you on camera doing that, and be wondering if it's some sort of distraction tactic! 😀

[Lezzers in reply to SpiritoftheFloyd]

Hadn't thought of that! Could've been a bit dodgy as Kevin's icd used to set off the store alarm everytime we went in there! 😱

[Lezzers]

No idea how much the gin costs. Try not to look at the price, I'm guessing it won't be cheap! 😂 And im not totally sure setting off the alarm in a store is a good reason to avoid having an ICD! 🤔 😂

[Thanksnhs in reply to Lezzers]

It's definitely not, but it is worth setting off the store alarm for a nice gin 🍸char 😋

[Alison_L in reply to Lezzers]

My ICD has never set off the M&S (or any other store) alarm. How do I get it to do that?

[Lezzers in reply to Alison_L]

Just walk through the doors! This waa mentioned on another site & it seems it was nearly always m&s stores. It doesn't seem to happen now so maybe the security level has been changed?

[Alison_L in reply to Lezzers]

Hm, I'll have to loiter a bit in the doorway next time I go in.

[Lezzers in reply to Alison_L]

That's what i usually do after I've had a gin! 😉

[Alison_L in reply to Lezzers]

LOL. I don't drink... perhaps I need to start again

[Snapdragon_purple1 in reply to Lezzers]

£18 for the gin🙂

[SpiritoftheFloyd]

£18 for 70cl, and I agree with Lezzers - setting off alarm is not a good reason for not having an ICD - just think of the fun you can have with store security!

[VelvetSky]

Looks Great Fun, but is it an essential purchase? Saw on the news last night sanitary products are no deemed an essential purchase in a Tesco store. The world has gone MAD, the men in white coats are coming for us all.

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to VelvetSky]

Good sense prevailed. The Welsh Health minister made a statement saying that Tesco had been over zealous in ther interpretation of the guidelines.

Tesco has apologised to the woman concerned.

[VelvetSky]

Milkfairy, It worries me that there wasn’t good sense applied in the first place.

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to VelvetSky]

I agree there is alot of confusion, misinformation and lack of knowledge about the coronavirus.

Stay well

I was told by my cardiologist not to drink alcohol as it affects the heart rate. I didn't drink too much anyway. , but there have been times this summer in the hot weather that l have longed for a pint, or a pimms and lemonade. Have l been going without for no reason?

[Lezzers in reply to Dollcollector]

If your cardiologist says its a no no to alcohol then it probably is a no no! Always worth asking about the very very occasional pint though.

[Dollcollector in reply to Lezzers]

Thanks for your reply. I thought it was the same for everyone with A.F. and the consequences of having A.F. I am frightened to drink now and yet everybody else on this forum seems to drink. I must add that l was only a social drinker..

[BritTania]

In my youth, a lezzer was a lesbian. Is that what this means?

[Sunnie2day in reply to BritTania]

No. In this lady's case it is a play on her given name.

[BritTania in reply to Sunnie2day]

Ah thank you! Thought it surely couldn’t be that crass!

[Delilahh74]

Popped into my local M&S on Saturday, but they'd sold out of both flavours. Lady on till told me they're re-stocking on 1st November. Now, how odd would it look if I showed up at 11am to buy a bottle (I work 12 - 4)? She said they're selling fast, so I don't want to miss out.

[Sunnie2day in reply to Delilahh74]

M&S likes to under-stock to create 'interest'. They did that with the pink coat and I still haven't forgiven them that error!

If you want a bottle, be there at 1030hrs and if they say it's not been brought from the back, ask someone to go fetch you one so you're not late for work. (And try not to growl at the clerk the way I would, still smarting after the pink coat thing!)

[Astronomyrules]

Mmmmm gin Why wait for Xmas?

[Prada47]

I will get my Sister in Law a bottle but not sure Rhubarb or Clementine, what the Hell it's for Xmas so going to get them both. Don't think I will suggest it would mix well with Prosecco she can be a problem on Gin alone

Lesley what would you recommend Rhubarb or Clementine All my life I worked on the basis "What is an Expert " someone who knows when it's time to call an Expert So over to you Lesley.

Hands Face Space to Stay Safe

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

😂 Well it is Christmas so definitely get both of them! 😂 And so far, in the time its taken me to type this i've changed my mind at least 6 times about which one i prefer! When did i get so indecisive! 😂

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Prada47]

Not the rhubarb! If I eat rhubarb I come out I nettle rash! (spotty emoji)

[SarahJLD]

I don’t drink but really want to buy one just for the bottle 🙄
