Hi both!
We're coming out on 5 October, staying at KC (sorry, with 'the other lot' LOL) - so could you possibly get some Diet Sprite in for then, pretty please?
I'm not boring about food and drink at all, just diabetic - and if I can drink "good" stuff "at home" I think it helps to make up a bit for all the "bad" stuff I "am forced to" consume elsewhere! - and OK I admit it, I do also like a splash of lemonade in me Metaxa 3* or me Mythos anyway too - and Diet Sprite doesn't seem too "lemony" for that.
So much easier to cope with for me (or any diabetic) if we actually know how much carbohydrate & fat is contained in what we are eating/drinking, then take the correct dose of insulin to cope with it, rather than just having to guess - which sometimes has rather unfortunate results LOL - and helps make for a relaxing holiday for both of us.
Thanks!!!
- incidentally, in the early 80's, the supermarket on the front up towards the Alianthos was the very first place I ever discovered Diet Sprite anywhere we'd been on holiday! Well impressed. We've been to lots of places in Greece since and some of them STILL don't have anything other than Diet Coke!

On the same subject, can you get diet tonic water anywhere for that pre dinner drink on the balcony, the regular is good but not for diabetics Thanks Daisy

Hi, Ladies,
From personal experience, you are far more likely to get an answer if you PM Ali & Dave.
They don't always check the general postings but frequently look in their messages.
I'm sure they can give you satisfactory responses.

Hi Guys
It was nice to see you this year looking a bit happier than you did last year. Sorry it was only a fleeting glance Ali but you always seemed to be asleep when I popped in. Not really surprising with your new work load that Dave was telling me about.

Thanks Alison!
(Err, sugar free ice cream? Half the enjoyment is, it's a bit naughty LOL)
I didn't notice Diet Orange last year? That would always be my first choice as a soft drink so you could be selling some of that along with the lemonade to go in the brandy, oh and the brandy of course.
Oh and maybe some food ........
