Bumpity Bump,

Thanks for putting this on, we are going in 3 weeks. I will have to devise another shopping list.

Yes, me too - we usually take a couple of home cooked meals, frozen ready to eat on the overnight stops, plus picnic stuff for at least the first day, and milk of course.  More recently we've taken less than normal, as we no longer have teenage boys with us, but planned, this year to stock up a bit more as we're meeting my sister in Burgundy and she has small children, and less room!

This year we'll have to look at shopping much earlier in the holiday than normal. 

Did think about making some 'milk ice cubes' ready for de-frosting for that first cuppa - and wonder if these might get past the sniffer dogs!!!!!

Are you prepared to risk ruining your holiday by possible arrest and detention for a cup of tea? No wonder this disease spreads like wildfire when no one takes it seriously.

I'm sorry, but I was just joking - if you've seen my previous posts (not necessarily on this topic) then you'll see that sometimes I seem slightly less than serious, but I can assure you I'm not going to flout any rules.  I don't think it would involve arrest and detention anyway, simply confiscation of the banned foods - as I mentioned in an earlier posting when someone else had eggs confiscated.  If you look through all the postings you'll see that it was me who asked that this topic be 'pinned' so that everyone could read it - and mentioned that everyone should follow the rules.

There are some on these forums who make 'in-jokes' - and I really am sorry that you took my suggestion as a serious one!
