    Young single mum who can't afford to eat and have the heating on at the same time.

      There's a bottle of champagne on the table next to the laptop she's typing on.

        My critical evaluation indicates:

        She also looks like she's eating too much.

              Is Moet a poor-person's drink now

              I was economising and not even realising it, time to raise the stakes.

                In the late 90s on a contractors night out, we drank the restaurant dry of Dom Perignon, and had to slum it with Moet.

                Nowadays, I prefer a £20 bottle of a good red than a £100 bottle of champagne.

                  I thought it was just distortion from wide screen format.

                    i agree she's poor, Moet is generally p!ss water in a fat green bottle, a bottle of Bollinger is what she ought to be drinking, i blame the credit crunch
