I would go with "have" there. The future tense of the main clause makes it clear that the second clause is also in the future. I would use "have had" only for consumables. For example, if the items were food items that had been eaten, "until they have had all the cheeseburgers". :lol:

d) might be possible if it meant 'buy', mightn't it? That way, they would be consuming the souvenirs. However, the natural choice is Mike's. ;-)

The key is (b), which I don't agree with.
Thank you very much indeed. Now I understnad better.

I agree with your disagreement. In my opinion, b is totally wrong.

Thanks very much. On the last question,I agree with Ron- b) is wrong. We don't use'will'after 'until', not even in the perfect form.;-)

A flower for you @->--

Thanks for your agreement with my disagreement. (Is this sentence right? I think it strange. -_- )

I think "Thank you for...." is more usual, but that one is okay with me.
