Feeling really disgusted with myself after opening a 200g bag of peanuts last night, having a handful, followed by another handful, and then another.....I got through the whole bag. Too stuffed to cook anything by the end of the night. :x

:D I recognise that. Try crumbling a bag of Smiths(?) Squares into your dry roasted nuts and it's another level.

With 24-bit color, over 16 million shades of colour, you'd think BLV could choose colours for the scoreboard that closely resemble the players' shirts!

Has anyone noticed jars of coffee have been reduced to 95 grams, from 100?

Wankers!! I remember as a kid noticing my chocolate mice with missing tails, but when they're a penny or halfpenny each and sold individually, that's understandable. Sneakily reducing the quantity yet keeping it in the same size jar amounts to deception!

I did wonder how Poundshops are going to deal with inflation! I buy packs of chocolate and I have a feeling they have been shrinking them too. :evil:

Pound shops have been doing that for years. But I never imagined that jars of coffee would go the same way. It's not just one brand of coffee, Kenco, Nescafe and some other!

I'm quite happy to pay £1.75 for a 6-pack of crisps but I'd never buy a 5-pack, whatever the price. I've been buying 6-packs for decades, a 5-pack would just make me feel I've got something missing. ;)

flipping cyclists. Not only do they cycle on the pavement and get in your way, then they do their shopping while their cycle blocks access to the trolleys!

The price of cheese is going up like a horse that's bolted!

I suspect they've decided to double the price but they're doing it in stages so you don't get a shock and stop eating cheese.

Do we still import 2/3rds of our cheese? It would be a disgrace if we do.

Looks like it. I've searched everywhere for Gloucestershire Gruyere and Berkshire Burrata but can't find any!

100% of our coconuts are imported. That is a disgrace! :lol:

Sorry, it's half time. :)
