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.

StealthPolarBear · 22/08/2019 20:06

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.

StealthPolarBear · 22/08/2019 20:37

Ooh sicily!
How can angelsey have a waitrose when the entire of Co Durham doesn't?

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.
