her jaw (are her teeth wired together?), I find that Matt Allwright a
really annoying twerp whenever I see him. He over-acts and had googly eyes.

For some time now it has sounded like Anne Robinson has been training as a
vent act, maybe he is her new puppet?

What's starting to get to me is these TV twerps that are waving their hands
about like ****ing eyties.
Seems to be getting more and more common.

I imagine Botox and surgery have removed any stretch that was left in

Even more fun if they're holding the microphone - as I saw on Newsnight

She wasn't known for laughing before getting the cliff richard look. At

I watched about 10 minutes of it on 'money saving tips' where they went
to the local butcher where prices were at least twice as high as the
supermarket and purchased the cheapest meat they had. They then went
next door to the local greengrocer and advised on the purchase of
vegetables that looked to be around 4 weeks beyond their best (dried and
shrivelled carrots and green veg turning brown).

A similar type program last year on the discount supermarkets used
someone with the an 'average family shop' of two bottles of champagne
and out of season strawberries each week.

I do wonder if some of these TV presenters actually know themselves the
price of a pint of milk or loaf of bread?

A TV presenter is merely a form of actor. Would you expect an actor
playing Einstein to understand the theory of relativity?

Different if the presenter is also an expert in the field they present,
though. But an expert may not be good at appearing on TV.

Me neither - they come as part of a home delivery order.

I do occasionally cross compare prices, but then I tend to stick with
that brand for 6 months before looking again.

There's an easy answer - there is no one price for either. With milk it
depends where you buy it.

In a supermarket like Tesco, a single pint might cost about 50p. Four
pints about a quid, so less than half the price of one. And different yet
again in a corner shop or delivered by a milkman.

Highest price I've seen is 1.50 a pint in a small convenience store
located in a station.

But you are not presenting a TV program advising how to save money on a
£150/week grocery shopping bill.

BTW, I pay 25p/pint for skimmed milk and between 55p and a 95p for a
loaf of bread - the former bread I only regard fit for toasting or
feeding to ducks.

Only £1.69 a punnet in Lidl...

It is lack of any appeal (no smell, looking slightly under-ripe, and
being from countries which were not traditional strawberry growers) that
puts me off. The price, while relatively high, would not be a complete
bar for a special occasion.

helps me not!

I am constantly amazed at the high price of all fruit (except, for some odd
reason, bananas) in all shops, including the discounters.

Even apples seem to cost, like 40p each - unless you buy them in a mega
large bag that's got so many in half would go off before I can eat them.

If they can be sold at 10p each in a big bag, why can't they be 10p (OK 15p)
each sold singly?

Bananas seem to be one of the few such things in supermarkets sold by

wash them before eating. ;-)

Bananas are cheap because the supermarkets had a price-war involving them;

money to the growers.

I absolutely agree - it should be made common knowledge. I get annoyed with
people turning up to our park on a Sat urday and Sunday with not just a few
slices - but complete loaves of bread. Of course as soon as they have gone
another person turns up to do the same. The rats enjoy it thoug. The ducks
are too lethargic to fly.

Have you tried this experiment?
Or do you normally soak your old bread in anti-freeze?
Does it taste good?

Never tried it but ethylene glycol tastes sweet apparently (hence its use
many years ago to add "body" to cheap wine). Cats are regularly poisoned
with it.

1) You should *not* be feeding bread to ducks. It's not that good for
them. Try grain instead.

2) You should not be buying bread, you can make it in a breadmaker
quite easily and at a lower cost.

Oh, they give breadmakers away for free do they?

Or you could make it yourself without a breadmaker. Easy to do, doesn't
take long, and the end result is MUCH better. But we did this fairly

I get mine quite a bit cheaper than that by using a bread
machine and it leaves all the commercial bread for dead too.

Then you need much better supermarkets.

In ours virtually everything is sold loose any by weight, everything
from apples to oranges to potatoes, tomatoes, peaches, nectarines
etc etc etc. Some of them like potatoes are also sold in 2 and 5KG
bags as well.

The only thing I can think of off hand that isn't is strawberrys.

Can't really see why apples ain't the same.
