"in the wonderful SMBS.."


Is this the SMBS who charge nearly ?2 for half a dozen frozen lime leaves?

Comparative price at local Asian-type grocery shop: ?1.50 for a couple of hundred frozen lime leaves.


I'll leave you to work-out the percentage mark-up.

>>At Christmas I bought a mulled wine spice packet from Franklins Farm Shop for ?1.49. I then found exactly the same product in the wonderful SMBS for ?0.99.:D<. Such an agreeable way to acquire a warm inner glow (partly from the wine, partly from self-righteousness) on a cold day....

Ah, but do you heat it with a white-hot poker, well do you?

Hoarse sex is when you have a throat infection but are in every other wise perfectly sound.

In order to save wear and tear on the larynx you write notes to each other, arranging to have 'a bit of the other' after dinner. Or whenever mutually convenient.

I hear it's used a lot in the acting profession, where of course the voice is one's bread and butter.

Apparently mimes have a different slant on the process.

But being a complete shower of bastards, they would, wouldn't they?

I made some mulled port at Xmas, no posh tea bag but I swear the fumes got you high. The "warm inner glow" of mulled port is something else.

I have to say that it is a buyers market and if you don't like the prices then shop around. Franklin's shop does not advertise as organic or the cheapest in the area. I'm a great fan of the restaurant and buy some things from the shop that are unique or good value as I would any other shop.But I have to say that I have found the staff helpful and informative but I would also say the same about a lot of shops in the area.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      that is one cliche-ridden post headnun    it doesn’t mean a sack of beans in the real world  “old fashioned voters” meaning the ones dragging the country down this last 15 years just to laugh at the libs tears. Well done all  I’m not looking back at all. This is not a post Europe world in any sense. There are forces bigger than Europe but uk would be better aligning with Europe against, say, china, the pretending we live in some post Europe world.    and in case you hadn’t noticed, whoever you vote for, there are a LOT of ignorant racists feeling very happy with their resurgence - I would fight against them if I were you

      No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop

      In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
