well mine doesn't seem so bad lol. when we take the kids to ***donalds or k*c for a fast food treat, they always give us loads of salts, peppers and sauces, more than we use, so i put them in my handbag and take them home. i have a box i keep them in and when we are having home made fast food the kids have their own sauces to use! although ketchups and salts generally get decanted into their relevant containers at home! i only take the ones we have been given so we have paid for them.

thats nothing as a poor student I used to take their loo-roll too!!! **donalds toilet attendant used to leave spare rolls in the cubicals and I would nip into the loos a couple of times a week and come out with a roll tucked into my oversized college bag.. I wouldnt do it now but as student in digs that was something we always ran out of

proceeded to feed the meter with the required 20p.

What I find most shocking about this is the price for parking. Only 20p? We went to Mold one day to visit some friends and decided to go shopping first. The parking cost 20p, and we were just remarking how cheap it was when the ticket attendant told us that most people complained about the cost. Just to put it in perspective, in Douglas to park in town costs £1 an hour :eek:. It used to cost 80p, but if you didn't have the change and only had £1 it wouldn't give any change.

Yes, I also believe it was lead in petrol that made people tell you not to pick road side fruit, and my mum always said never pick anything that grows below your knee because a dog might have cocked his leg up it :rotfl:

I still won't pick fruit from near a road, and I still tell my children not to pick any fruit from below knee height because of said dog

I believe they did use to have reusable condons during the war... WWII but maybe someone else can clarify?!!

Older style rubber condoms were reusable - newer latex condoms were not.

I'm sure this will interest you! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12569011

It's normal for humans to drink human milk. It's not normal for humans to drink the milk from other creatures - now THAT is what I find bizarre!

Thank you for the link I agree, why should I give my baby milk from a cow, intended for its calf, when I make enough for him? Boggles the mind!
