    The noise of a whole load of OSers keeling over thinking about how you spend £17,000 a year on food :D

    Next week - £17k a year on food??!!!
    That's over £325 a WEEK :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Even before having to run on a tight budget - and when I was feeding five of us - I never spent THAT much :eek:

    I probably wasn't far off this weeks family though - and that didn't include take-aways as we didn't have them (lived somewhere without easy access to anything but a chippy, and I don't like chippy teas!)

    I just tried these and it kind of worked! It took about 2 minutes before they started doing anything, but did start 'popping'! It didn't work too well though as they ended up burning (oops). But the bits that weren't burnt were quite nice (and stayed green and orange!)


    hmmm more experimentation required then! Ah well, at least you didn''t waste loads of oil trying to deep fry!;)

    Well, I have to say I didn't think I would enjoy the programme, but it turned out to be very amusing. But mostly it was sharing it with others on here and seeing that I was thinking the same as every one else.

    Maybe we should send a link to this thread to Points Of View.
