    lilmiss - if it's the link to the Monty Python Four Yorkshireman sketch, then I know it VERY well - blame me dad for getting me into Python

    And I love the Omid Djalli MSE advert, it is brillant. "There are those born without the ability to haggle - we call those British."

    beanie, when ni worked in a fruit n veg shop, we sold canary tomatoes (from the canary isles.... ) and they were the tastiert, sweetest toms... so much better than the dutch rubbish... i used to eat them like grapes.... you don't see them about any more. Apples were british, and tasty, not having to conform to effing EC standards....

    Oh god, I'm watching Generation XXL - no wonder one of the kids can't lose weight, they have last night's dinner for breakfast! That's not a proper start to the day - where's the cereal and fruit and maybe oily fish if you like it.

    I bought a cauli on new Year's Eve - 70p (not reduced or offer).
    Today they were £1.20.
    Rats to that - value mince is fine if you drain off the fat.
    Really upset me that I couldn't afford a cauli. Not bounced all day.
    For goodness sake it was only a cauli. Grieved me more than no wine! :rotfl:

    Bookie the caulie's were £1.30 in Morrisons this evening :eek: Not very big either - so I bought a Savoy cabbage for 50p instead. Also had apples and cherry toms for 30p - oh and a bags of carrots & spuds for 30p :D
