Really useful thread is something that you have found that you think may benefit others in some way. It can be anything (Non N Gauge though, as we have threads for this sort of stuff) but it must be LEGAL.

Examples are that you may have come across a car park in your home town that offers all day cheap parking.
or
You may have heard about a free offer in the press that you feel may benefit people here, such as a resturant chain offering free food or the like.

Explain what you have found, and how it may help someone out, put as much detail as you can.

This thread is designed to help people, so please no bogus or false information

Thanks (and I hope it benefits someone out there :thumbsup:)

This is only useful if you use one (or more) of these padlocks:



If you do use one (or more) this video is on You Tube for all to see  :o

I think you might want to change your padlocks  :thumbsdown:

Basically I can't cook and now my wife is ill and can't stand to do cooking we've been having meals from these people.
They're not the normal TV dinners that you get from the supermarket and are quite tasty,plenty of variety as well.Delivered to the door FOC.

So for anyone on their own,or who can't cook they're a godsend.
