My local Tesco still has charcoal, wouldn't want to use it a la Minion though, maybe give them a call, I think it was only the petrol station that still had it on display, you may be lucky and pick up a bag of Supagrill (OK for Minion in my books). Wickes also had BigK when I popped in last week

aww, you guys are brilliant! got a bag of brix from the local 24 hour garage. the man at the counter looked a bit baffled as to why i was buying it at 5 am though. 4 hours in, rugby world cup on and time for a snooze i think

thanks again for your offers.

The local petrol station forecourt seems to be a winner around here, next weekends going to be a blinder, persuaded the local to open up early for the matches, i will sort out the food and they can sort out the crowd!
