    ... your latest outfit came from the overflowing clothing bank

    ... you goto macdonalds drive through, order a water and ask for 100 serviettes and 20 ketchups

    ... you find tesco's 98p patio chairs extremely comfortable

    ... you find tesco's value lager satisfyingly tasty!

    ... your postman brings your mail to the door in a shopping trolley!
