cf a sausage cut in half length ways to look like two sausages, probably on the same plate. You ain't fooling anyone.


(With acknowledgement to "Is it me or is everything sh1t"?)

I won't join in trying to find expletives that will get through the filter ...

From irritating, to making me livid. Limescale, stained tea cups or mugs .. Litterbugs, animal neglect/abuse, bad manners (especially on the road, including bicycles and prampushers) ..


and when you are queueing at the checkout and they open a new one and instead of being first where you should be, you are now last behind a gang of marauding pensioners, who call their gang of friends over to also push in front of you, like they are entitled to be revered for living so long ... THEYVE GOT ALL DAY, (although I did say on one ocasion that I understood time was precious at their age) !!

"Wiltshire Farm Foods. So, Ronnie.. When did you last tuck into a lamb hotpot delivered straight to your door? Grrr


Louisa."


Wiltshire farm foods are the posh bit of "Apetito" the councils meals on wheels people. They are very good. Ronnie gets his wiltshire farm foods in a plastic tray, with an oak tree on a nice label as opposed to the council clients with tin foil tray with an appetite lid, and its delivered hot from the van ... so saving more on electricity/gas.


Wiltshire farm feed two old people ?100 per week approx

Apetito feed two old people 100 per month approx (if council cut price applies)

Threads about croissants. You know gentrification has destroyed a neighbourhood when a dedicated team of forum members contribute towards such a tedious topic. I think the ED 'knob-o-meter' scale has finally hit red and exploded.


Louisa.

Ah Louisa please tell me you're just pushing our buttons again.


The croissant thread is an enjoyable read and a fond reminder of how many threads on the forum used to be people actually chatting TO one another rather than just talking AT each other.


Almond croissants all the way ;-)

I may be wrong, but I would hazard a guess that Iceland croissants are a little less pretentious than the ones you get in other shops. It's not my thing, good luck to you if it is yours, but I just find them pointless.


Queue the barrage of responses of 'croissants are peasant food in France' nonsense from usual undercover guardianista snobs.


Louisa.

Irrational rage today caused by finding a potato caked in mud, in my bag of "washed and ready to use" potatoes. If I wanted a muddy one I would pay extra for organic ones (that's the main difference, right?). Mud on my Tesco Maris Piper is not acceptable.

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
