HMS Victory Current re-fit

[edit]

Starting in 2011, she commenced a 5-year re-fit contract with BAE. In 2012 she was transferred to a trust. Between the two, there has been approx. $100 million (USD) committed. Does anyone know if, with all this funding, if it's possible this re-fit will see her sail again? - theWOLFchild 06:59, 28 December 2015 (UTC) (see Talk:HMS_Victory#Current_re-fit)[reply]

No, there are no plans to sail her again. The HMS Victory article explains what the 2011 re-fit entails:The restoration is worth £16 million over the life of the contract and will include work to the masts and rigging, replacement side planking, and the addition of fire control measures. --Ykraps (talk) 08:02, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kahve Dünyası chocolate Santa

[edit]

A bit of a strange request this one, but I'm trying to source the price in pounds sterling for a Kahve Dünyası dark chocolate Santa Claus. I have looked on their website, but as the festive period is over now there are no details about it, so I was hoping that someone who bought one might see this request and be able to help me.

I'm not completely sure that their website ever showed, it looks like it hasn't been updated much since 2012. They do however seem somewhat active on their Facebook page [1], so if you have a Facebook account you could try asking there. Possibly someone else will tell you there anyway.
