    Brec, it was going so well until you forgot to put 'SCAM' in BIG CAPITALS in your title.

    How are people meant to know it's a scam if you only have a tiny scam???

    Good effort, but must try harder :p

    brec?

    i did put it all in caps, but for some reason, the forum de-capitalises text if it's all in capitals.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Maybe it's de-capital punishment for using the S word?

    You do realise that the forum members from the south of the country won't have a clue what you're on about don't you ?

    All this talk of butties and barms, now i'm a northern lass, but please spare a thought for those less fortunate southern souls :)

    I think you're over-reacting bit here!



    They've obviously had an influx of rich southerners (salad in butties - puh!) and are milking them so's they can reduce the price of proper grub.

    Oh we have butties down here too, especially bacon or chip butties, admittedly I don't know what a barm is, some sort of bappy thing I'm guessing, like those stotties?

    Bacon butties? Tesco Express?................

    OP is clearly a benefit scrounger, probably living in a vast 15-bedroomed mansion at the tax-payers expense, whilst lounging around all day scoffing bacon butties paid for by us tax-payers, watching "Loose Women" and "Jeremy Kyle" on their giant plasma telly the likes of which us tax-payers can't afford, while us tax-payers pay for this lazy layabout to make a fuss just because they are having to pay more of our tax-payers money towards their unhealthy diet.

    I'm off to DT for a reasoned and rational debate on bringing back the death penalty for benefit cheats and scroungers. And people who eat Tesco Express sandwiches.
