They may have been a different pack of Bhajis ... someone else may have got 'yours' for 50p!Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 9:54 pmBeen into Tesco Express and saw 6 onion bhajis reduced to £1. I was gonna buy them but the pricing guy came along and starting repricing the reduced shelf. So I did the rest of my shopping, went back to the bhajis and found he put them up to £1.15!!!
FFS, I would have paid £1.15 in the first place for them but I'm not having them now!

I was looking for some garden lights when I found some for a penny each. I thought I'd have 6, wondering what's the catch and then I came across this!
What's the flipping point? Nobody's going to pay that much for delivery!!You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
In the old days some companies chose names like Aadvark, A1, AAA etc in the hope you'd call them first when you were looking for a plumber or cab etc in the Yellow Pages.
I think that 0.01p plus postage has become the new Aardvark for the digital age.
Why didn't you qualify for Prime delivery ?
Maybe if you buy 206 garden lights and bring the order up to 50 quid.

Hello Heathrow runway 3
I clicked on the link and it just took me to a search page. But I think it's £7.99 P&P for each light. They must be sending them in a limousine.

It was an early eBay thing but over time eBay have brought it under control ... you can search by Cost+PP, you can rate the supplier's PP charge in your supplier feedback and I think eBay have some influence that the PP charges are reasonable. Shame to see Amazon lagging behind.
That rings a bell, I knew I saw cost plus p&p somewhere. Personally I think they should bring back hanging to deal with such people, but at the very least they should be barred from selling on Amazon.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 9:56 amIt was an early eBay thing but over time eBay have brought it under control ... you can search by Cost+PP, you can rate the supplier's PP charge in your supplier feedback and I think eBay have some influence that the PP charges are reasonable.

The cat's not well - sickness and diarrhoea! The diarrhoea lands in the litter tray but the vomit could be anywhere!!
While I'm here, I'm getting flipping sick of vegan plant-based food being passed off as 'chichen tenders' or 'sausages' and claims on food packages that we can make the world a better place by eating crap. If you want to be a vegan eat vegetables the way god made them. There's no need to pretend it's a dead animal!

I think that's a bit unfair, there are plenty of people that like the taste of meat but for environmental or moral reasons they'd rather not eat it. Doesn't seem unreasonable that they might want a meat-tasting alternative which gives them something of the experience of eating meat without the ethical and moral complications that they might want to avoid.Derek27 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:27 pmThe cat's not well - sickness and diarrhoea!

What I said about vegans was tongue-in-cheek, but they shouldn't label food as chicken strips if it's just a substitute.darchas wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 11:42 pmI think that's a bit unfair, there are plenty of people that like the taste of meat but for environmental or moral reasons they'd rather not eat it.

By the way, how do people who think meat eating's immoral know what it tastes like? Perhaps we should have human meat substitutes for people who think cannibalism's immoral.

Our little Tinky (on the right), had a thyroid problem, had to get her over to Newmarket Animal Clinic for a week of treatment, one injection into her thyroid to control her overeating, she was throwing up quite frequently whilst losing weight, around £3k later, (no she wasn’t insured) , she’s fine albeit coughing up the odd furball, she’s one of two house cats so we have to cope with that..

Not a cat person myself but found a stray kitten last evening in my backyard, calling out for her mother for most of the night. Had the same colors as Derek's cat, she wasn't too young but did look a bit terrified so gave her a bit of food and she was gone by morning. Hopefully her mother came back for her.
Not really a rant but this is the rant corner so irresponsible parenting and all that
