No not about the team😂 how we are getting ripped off left right and centre. Whilst shopping the other day I bought a multi pack of crisps, but now they only contain 5 bags instead of 6. Got home and realised I’d been rogered. Then started thinking wagen wheels are now the size of a fifty pence peace, a normal size mars bar is now the size of a match box. We now pay the same price for a litre of petrol as we did for a gallen? We now have 2 government budgets a year when we only used to have 1?and if you have children you pay full adult price for a 2 year old when flying so why do you have to wait until your 18 to vote,I’m pretty sure when you get on a bus you have to pay full price before your 18? Heating prices are going up and yet we don’t do anything about it we just accept it. Is it me or am I having a senior moment 😂🙈

Agree but it's called inflation mate. It's always happened and always will.

They call it shrinkflation i believe. Its really underhand IMO. Id rather they raised the price, but kept the goods the same size, instead of keeping the price the same but giving you less for your money.

How about this one,my other arf is having to to take her parents to Barnet hospital so as well as paying some sort of congestion charge she now has to pay an emission charge,so basically two charges for the same vehicle. And we stand for it. If the government are so concerned about emissions ( I don’t disagree in principle) why don’t they stop China,India,USA and Russia, from pumping out all there emissions. As I see it,it’s just another way of stiffing the honest British tax payer.🙈

Agree with Monkey on his original post. Everything is shrinking, sometimes down to the amount of sugar they are now allowed to put in certain products. But yes ultimately always getting ripped off.
On a different shopping subject, the only nuts i can find are KP Dry Roasted. Not a problem with that but the Tesco / Co-Op / Sainsburys brands have all gone missing.

Yes it is strange how certain things seem to disappear sometimes temporarily or permanently. Some weeks you go in say my local Tesco and there’s no chicken but the next week there’s hardly any crisps 💁 I used to like the little marshmallows filled with jam in a box but I haven’t seen them for years and can some of you remember the party seven cans(cans of beer) that you could take to a party or drink at home. When did they disappear 🙈 |

Waitrose sell nuts and are very nice.Lidl also have a good choice. |

The Royal Family have stopped saying 'One' when referring to themselves, in the future they will refer to themselves as 0.9.
0.9 must keep up with the times you know.

Yearn for the days of a full size Mars Bar again, 2 walnuts in a Walnut whip, and still waiting for my old favourite Marathon to re-appear, Bassets- allsorts, Spangles, at least I can still PPP Pickup a Penguin. |

.
