I think they are actually saying they'll accept payment in Naan bread, and have simply cocked up the spelling.

Stayed there a couple of times and last time the service was lacklustre. Won't be rushing back there.

Maybe paying in bread is a good option for people with no dough. Catering for everyone's kneed or just a PITA...

BA priced up a 4 day weekend trip AMS-LGW at just under £180k last month.

I did not partake.

I guess it depends on how much you value your granny

Actually, I'd say the programming is quite irregular based on this output!

Aaaagh, tough choices, but for the plain. Never had a garlic granny, I'll try that.

Can you post picture of your grandma I may be willing to make a better offer. Is she good with children?
