id expect some small difference, but £2 on a bottle of water, is daylight robbery

That’s a bit strange as San Pelegrín’s 500ml is £1.50 at Tescos and £1.65 for 1 litre.
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/251074208 - not sure why it would be £2 more expensive at other outlets.

Just back from shopping for the boys ‘stocking fillers’, £360 later……
Everything just seems so expensive at the moment

Think you may need to look up the term 'stocking filler'

£360 is more than a lot of people's main present.

Tesco. rampant profiteering.

was the other side of town on Friday so decided to just pop into Asda and get a couple of things.

San Pellegrino small 500ML was a full £1.55 cheaper
the large bottles, almost £2 cheaper
Sugarly sweetener. Asda price £2.85, Tesco £4.50
Radox mens 750ml seafoam Asda £1.65. Tesco £2.
Nutella Ice cream Asda £4.50 Tesco £5.50.

i strongly doubt Asda gets things cheaper than tesco.

What about the sprouts?

Not going to be a nice week in hospitals this week with the flu epidemic and junior docs going on strike

That's interesting....ours is actually being reduced from £45 to £30 as part of the nationwide changes to recycling and waste collection. This is apparently an attempt to encourage more to recycle garden waste, it will still be collected fortnightly (although there are changes to other recycling & waste collection frequencies).

Winter flu has always been with us and is a seasonal trend that’s expected. It’s the sudden, unexpected blips that ramp things up. I remember a Legionaire’s outbreak at Barrow-in-Furness, and a Saturday dash to borrow intensive care ventilators from Manchester, then commission them onto site. I don’t remember the annual flu spikes.

Does your RAC cover not include recovery of vehicle?

Kind of. We have gone with that but it's cost us an extra 300 quid unfortunately. Seemed the safest option though.

You should be grateful.
Ours is already £85 for fortnightly collections.

Shall I be really annoying and say ours is free and collected weekly. I also pay £35 for a second brown bin, which can also be collected weekly

Shall I be annoying and say that a written question should always finish with a question mark?

You can say it, though whether I will take any notice ?
