Hi alan
My friend set a load off for her hubby's birthday (he had not long died) they are beautiful arent they.
If I'm allowed to say she got them from Play.com and they were cheaper than other places I've seen them
Love

What a great idea I first came across these last year driving back from our freinds, they were releasing them from the garden of a hotel we wondered what they were for a bit, I have looked on the web for them but they seem to be expensive so the news of them being in a pound shop is flippin great, thanks for the thread I will keep me eye's open next time I'm in town!.0

Ye gods of course not!, I wouldn’t be seen dead in one!, no I have the war office so I force her to go in for me while I go to John Lewis, now there’s a store with real class!.0

Well you pair don't need to even leave your seats....i said play.com not the pound shop :shock: :roll:
As if they'd be that cheap - and if they were they'd probably blow up on you :shock:

Anyway, after the 3rd attempt, away it went right over North Manchester, you could see it for miles. Why don't you have a go.

Am I right in thinking the Chinese use them to float their hopes and dreams for the future? They are certainly very beautiful - didn't the BBC use them once as one of their logos? Never tried them myself but, next time I am in town, I will don a disguise (!) and go to the pound shop. That shop is an excellent source for the Danish Parcel Game, played at Christmas. In fact, I'll thread it nearer the festive season, 'cos I think you folks might like it. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

No tell us now. There are a few parties coming up. Is it suitable for children or confined to the adults!
