What does one have to do to get Christmas crackers?

Postby markwilding » Sun Dec 19, 2010 1:10 am

We've tried Amazon, Sold out!
Debenhams, lost in transit, then sold out.
'The food Hall' in Madrid, Sold out!
It looks like there'll be no funny hats this year :cry:

Mark, I wish you had asked earlier then one of us could have got you some and posted them to you. I would have done! Unfortunately I live 100km inland and won't be able to get any now, sorry! :cry:

Thanks for that
We are already sorted for next year as we have bought some from Marks and have had them delivered to my mum's and we'll pick them up in January.I just hope there won't be any problems this time round
More and more companies are delivering to Spain.It's just a pity that Marks & Spencer and John Lewis don't.

Hi Mark,

Marks and Spencer DO deliver to Spain, very reliable service as well, but not food, not sure how they would classify crackers.

Funnily enough, We were in Habitat last week. Didn't see any crackers though.
I'll nip into Bilbao tomorrow to check them out again.

Jool, I've just checked theM&S web site and you're right, they do deliver. My wife normally deals with the shopping so I've never checked myself.
We'll know for the next time.

Popped into 'El corte Ingles' and they had them.
Christmas is back on again. Funny hats and explosions will be had by all. :clap:

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2011 :thumbup:

ALDI has them and most probably LIDL as well.
I used to be indecisive but now I´m not so sure.
