If you're like me and didn't grow in this country, then you wouldn't know who Bob Carolgees is, but if you did grow up in this country, and you're about my age, you'd remember "Spit the Dog" and Bob-- TV personalities on a saturday mornings' kids show.
Well now Bob has retired from that and owns and runs a fantastic candle shop at Lady Heyes craft centre in Frodsham, Cheshire. He's also got a website www.carolgeescandles.com. If you explore around on the website, and click on "Yankee" in the menu on the left, and click "go to Yankee Products" at the bottom of the newly loaded page -- then Select by Product and choose Large Candle (or any other candle size) and then pretend to order a candle, choose the fragrance and put a number in the quantity box and click "add to order" -- it brings up your shopping cart screen -- at the bottom of that screen you can see the cute drawing of Bob & Spit -- here's the fun part!!! Move the mouse over the candle to the right of Bob & Spit and it suddenly is lit!!! NOW click on Bob & Spit! (insert the really cool thing that happens but I can't tell you because I don't want to ruin the laugh here!)
Isn't that excellent?!?!?! Bob showed Debbie & I that the other week when we went in there and he was so proud of it! He was like a lil kid with a new toy!
