Cards on the table time:

I drink rather a lot of Gin & Tonic but it must be with Ice.

If I'm in a pub I have to ask the staff to fill the glass with Ice and then put in the G&T. At home I used to go through a bag of ice a week and then some. I would find I had run out, the supermarket had run out. I one spent the evening (Sunday with my wife) searching Huddersfield for some Ice. We couldn't find any anywhere! We ended up in a Off Licence where we asked the owner do you sell Ice, no he replied but if you want some I can give you some. He came out of the back of the shop with a carrier bag full of Ice, turned out he had a private members bar upstairs and the ice machine downstairs! I paid him for it obviously!

So what is he getring at I can hear you ask. FFS get on with it etc!

Well last month I went into Comet and there on offer was an Ice making machine. £99 for a personal Ice machine. I had to have one. I sweet talked SWMBO and bought it. Its fantastic, I now have all the Ice I need, we are having a bit of a do! and I am building up my stocks of ice for it I have Kg's of Ice in the freezer!

The machine is no bigger than a portable TV with VCR, it produces 12 cubes every 20 mins. I now have the PERFECT GIN & TONIC at home.

If you are like me and need (want) Ice with your favorite drink go to Comet and buy one these are brilliant.
