Spam at the Co-op was 1.93
Sid really fancied some, to have for his tea
Co-op own brand was 1.42
For 50p he'd make that do

The Chat Room / Re: Doing ‘posh’..
Last post by Raven - Today at 01:07:30 PM
I don't do posh, though when we moved to the Mainland during my early years a lot of the school kids used to think we were a posh family because we lived in the Castle's Dowger House and it was huge compared to other houses in the area.
But we were just an ordinary family doing the same as other families.

We're still stuck with rain and those awful 50mph winds that are ripping everything to bits. I hate the wind even more than snow n ice, and believe me that's some strength of hate 😡
Can't really do anything inside or out, house is all caught up with and weather's awful and I'm fed up with it.:cry:

I always used to take the middle length of trousers from Mark's when I bought from them.
I buy a lot of my leggings and jeans from Temu now and they fit fine. I was 5ft 4in but a couple of years back when I had my bone scan after my bad fall they measured me, I was gobsmacked to hear I was now 5ft 2in 🤷
I can imagine your frustration though Mups.  I also have a problem with Supermarket top shelves :yell:

Why?  Probably because they are designed by men,  Scrumps.
Men who have no idea what its like for anyone shorter than them.  :rolleyes:
You are actually about 5"  taller than me,  so you can imagine the problems I have!
(Same with supermarket top shelves). 

M & S trousers very often come in about three different lengths though,  and the shorter ones fit me fine.

Do shops think everyone is over six foot..!!
The clothes I buy usually have to be turned up at the hem.. I am 5.4..
Luckily I prefer culottes...
I am aware that the kids of today are much taller than we were..
When in a store  holding dresses or trousers up against my body they drag on the floor..
I can't wear long dress because it looks as if I have no legs.. :grin:
Does this also apply to men..!

General Discussion / Re: The Green Party

The green flyer gleefully claims -it's time to tax the rich' wit h a picture of two smirking MPs. How bloody hypocritical! On 91k, just awarded themselves a five percent raise, with numerous expenses fiddles available, I'm willing to bet that on an income well below half of theirs, I pay more tax, as a proportion of income than they do.
