Ah so the Derek who teased me for not growing out of sweets, still likes his crisps :D

As Do I :P
The really sad thing is that I log into the McDonald's app on the crack of midnight to see what the Halloween offer for the day is. :oops:

When I die, I'm not fussed what happens afterwards but I'd prefer a minute's silence than a packed football stadium clapping for a minute as though they're pleased about it!

Burger King has a 'find a ghost' feature with a ghost meter on their app. You switch it on, search your home for a ghost, and when you've found a ghost you get a burger voucher. I've tried it several times and left it running, it keeps telling me there are no ghosts in my house.

Are they just taking the piss? :x

Let's hope so. The idea that a burger app might convince some gullible youngsters that Freddy Krueger really is present in their house is the alternative.

No chance of that. You have to confirm you're over 18 before you go searching your house for ghosts. :lol:

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!
:shock:
I have just opened a packet of 6 twix bought in a poundshop, not long ago a twix bar was longer than my dick,
.......it is now smaller than my little finger!

I wish the government would burn some money, reduce wages and keep prices the same. I can't even keep track of what shop items are worth!

I must have seen at least 25 trucks of sugar beet pass by today. Some people are doing their best to fill your shelves Derek even though others think it's OK to sit on the beach all day or kissing ass for a cabinet position.

And they've got the bl**dy nerve to say our productivity is down :roll: In the last few years they've done almost exactly fck all.

You didn’t give them £20 each, you cheapskate.
