There are now just the wife and I and we spend about £240 a

weekly shop yourself and see where the money goes.

A bit off topic ? but I agree totally. Tesco's do adopt
underhand tactics. I've seen things "misplaced" on shelves
quite frequently and even fell foul myself once. Needless to
say the misplaced items always end up in a cheaper space.

The other gripe are these "for one" offers. I feel ripped off
if I only want a normal quantity, so I just use Morrisons or
Asda.

Anyway, I'm coming to the conclusion that people should forget
investing in banks, gold, shares etc. The optimum investment
is probably tinned fish.

My staple diet has doubled in price over the last year or so.

From what I observe on the odd occasion I go anywhere near a
city centre, people are eating continuously. Why they need any
food at home I can't imagine.

Kebabs, Mc Donalds, KFC. One needs the odd few nutrients with the
grease salt& sugar.

A doner is probably the perfect balanced meal, but enough for the
whole day, not just a snack. I believe dog biscuits pack more
nutrients though

You must indeed be from a fortunate part of the planet. My
recollection of donors is a nice hot spicy meal ideally suited to
round off an almighty booze up.

Leave the remnants on the table, floor or whatever and you wake up to
view a pale grey corpse like material poking out from a pitta bread in
the throes of rigour mortis.

As a colleague once pointed out, "kebab shops just couldn't exist
without pubs", "who would dream of eating a kebab when sober".

You have just described my breakfast.
