Rachel Sylvester's piece. I have never found her work to be very impressive. It would appear that Mrs Leadsom was steered very firmly into this subject area by Ms Sylvester. Mrs Leadsom will have to be more circumspect and try to avoid being "tripped up" in this way in the future.

The Times’s transcript of what Leadsom said in her interview with Rachel Sylvester | Conservative Home
I have refused to buy a newspaper for years, they always twist the facts to suit themselves to make a good (sic) story, it's like all the bits and bobs in the news about e-cigs - no real research done as to whether the piece is factually correct or a load of hogwash to confuse the public, just catch a piece and print it and bu**er the consequences.

First time I've seen that particular transcript, and I had wondered if it were the journalist that first mentioned Ms May in regard to that subject - but it does show that although steered to the subject of family, it was Andrea Leadsom who first mentioned Theresa May in relation to having a family or not.

She will indeed need to be more cautious of what she says within the earshot or directly to any journalists.

I do agree in that regard to journalists. It's because of that, and the fact that any reasonably experienced person would realise it, I'd have expected Andrea Leadsom to have been far more cautious in what she said, and the subject matter.

On a far lesser matter, I found what had been intended as a serious interview to have been twisted in such a way that it presented me and my work in a really silly manner.
When I had a further request from a different newspaper on another occasion, I refused unless I'd be allowed to approve the article before publication ...they declined.
It was only a much later TV piece, and a live radio interview that restored my faith in any kind of journalism/publicity.

I don`t get it with Chefs ATM ! I want to order some nic premix and some empty 100 ml bottles. I put the nic in my basket then searched for the bottles, and it sends me to their sister site ( Chefs Flavours ) which means i would have to check out twice, and pay P&P twice...Any idea`s guys ?

In other news, i tried the Lemon Meringue Pie ( Rejuiced ) Yesterday, and just like their Apple pie, it`s ok but nothing to shout about ! 7/!0.

I hadn't thought of that type of issue, but yes, anything with nicotine in it is on the original site. Anything without, is on the new one.
You have a point with the postage issue.

Send a message and ask about that - I always get a reply within 24 hours (Usually Rhianna).
Alternatively, see if there's any bottles elsewhere for free shipping (Ebay, Amazon perhaps?)

Shame about the LMP - I haven't been overly impressed with that brand.

If i`m honest Trish I`m getting fed up with Chefs, i mean why do they need two separate bloody sites anyway ! I think i will just use them for my Concentrates from now on, and as you say i`ll probably use somewhere like LT for everything else.
Can`t be Arsed chasing after them :laugh:

I seem to recall them saying it was to put the flavourings/concentrates apart from anything with nicotine in it - something to do with being ready for the upcoming TPD implementation.
They keep anything containing nicotine separate - if they continue selling ready made liquid, it'll need changing to 10ml bottles I suppose, and the base liquids containing nicotine will cease to be sold ...I assume.
If we get no limit on quantity of 10ml bottles, and 'quantity' deals are introduced to keep prices similar to now, I may still buy some ready made.

I'll continue buying 100ml bottles ready-made and nicotine containing base until it has to stop. After all, over £30 is shipping free.
With the concentrates and non-nicotine items, the shipping is still reasonable, and still free over £30 if you were to buy concentrate & plain base in bulk.

It would be good if they could sell small bottles of nicotine to dilute with plain base after the TPD comes into law, but heck, we won't be allowed anything hazardous :rolleyes:

....and they wonder why we voted to leave!!!

Yes, what annoy`s me Trish is the fact that they will still be selling everything from the same premises, yet i have to split my order into two, and have to pay P&P twice.
As for the Rejuiced liquids, i don`t think i will try any more from them :)

I understand why you're annoyed - that's why I suggested you send a message from the website to see if there's a way around it.

Usually, unless they get a concentrate that may go out of stock quickly, I buy the ready made and nicotine stuff in enough to last a couple of months, and then a few weeks later, order the flavours/concentrates etc. That's why the postal cost hasn't really bothered me so far - but I do understand that it would when you're buying both!

Pity there can't be a temporary link for purchasing from both until such time as they need to be separate.

So there it is - Theresa May will be the new PM. Good - now we can get on with the job of securing Brexit and running our country.
Very relieved really - I do think she's the strongest person to deal with the EU, and to run the country.
So far, so good ....now let's hope they get on with it. The hesitation and delays thus far haven't been encouraging.

Some are saying it could be as soon as Thursday. Just hope Cameron doesn't suddenly find some pressing engagement and run off!

It also looks like the Eagle has landed in Jeremy's lap as well, we could end up with a female opposition leader too

As things turned out, her 'big day' on the green at Westminster got overshadowed by the announcement form Leadsom.
I fell out with the Labour Party some years ago (Blair), but it's a pity really.

Mrs May will be PM by Wednesday evening, which means that Dave has one last PMQs before he pops off to inform the Queen.
Won't be sorry to see the back of him - lost all credibility during the referendum fiasco.
Feels good to have something positive done :)

Very nice Bob :) 120 ml of Busta Lime £9.00 From Rejuiced...I Just ordered with a couple of new ones to try. Jam Donut, Essex Tan & i got another 30 ml of Apple pie, with an extra flavour shot. I think that`s all it will need to make it a very pleasant vape :)

Has anyone who has been making their own from a VG or VG/PG base, noticed coils lasting less time recently? (I use a VG nicotine base).

Either there's some sort of difference in the batch of MCV I made and have been using the past couple of months, or I've had a few bad boxes of the SOCC coils.
The MCV has always used coils up faster, but did tend to last 6/7 days. I'm only getting around 3 good days now.
