I was planning to ask friends and family to club together and buy Greenland for me.
But what else can be on my list?

A dyson air wrap and/or hair dryer
Philips Lumea
A nice piece of jewellery
Nice shoes
A decent camera

I am materialistic

No small islands?

Do you read? Because I've loved my Willoughby book club subscription.

Vatersay would probably be pretty cheap. Or North Rona.

Angry I was thinking like skye or mull. I don't know where those places are but they sound far away.
Or the Isle of Wight. I do like an island with a waitrose.

Sicily? Alright, it's not "small" small, but it's smaller than Greenland. Better weather too.

Stealth

When you’ve had enough of them send them down the road to Sunderland it’s the only way we’ll ever get a Waitrose n’all

StealthPolarBear · 22/08/2019 22:23

If we've got one in Durham we'll let you visit. Don't be greedy!

They could get you something from Iceland.

TimeIhadaNameChange · 22/08/2019 22:43

We sadly don't have a Waitrose on Skye. If I let you buy the island can you ensure that there at least two (north and south) with subsided goods?

BarbaraofSeville · 22/08/2019 23:23

I don't want much, I'd be happy with Gozo, there is a supermarket there which sells some Waitrose products and it has better weather than Greenland.
