    I think our leader in all honesty would rather go to the pub :beer:

    I think you could well be right gis,

    I'm starting to get really worried now, my O.H and I are going to look like a pair of Cinderellas when we roll up in our rusty old van wearing clothes that we've begged from Charity Shops :cry:

    I can imagine a lot of us have done some fairly desperate things when circumstances reached an all time low, we certainly have and I'm not proud of some of them, but when it's a case of putting food on the table or starving, there's really not much of an option.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Many years ago when I was young and very skint (it's been a pattern in my life) I used to live in a high street above a shop. Across the road was a co-op and I figured out they had their bread and milk deliveries at around 4 am just left outside. So once or twice I set the alarm and run over in my balaclava to go and liberate a pint of milk and a loaf of bread. :o Shame I never figured out what time the filet steak delivery was :D
