Sainsbury's is selling Dr Pepper in 500ml bottles for £1.09, and 2l bottles for £1.00. Of course I'd heard rumours of recent craziness in the financial system, but this has really brought it home to me. Wasn't that roughly how Nick Leeson got started?

Went to a football match on wednesday night and decided I needed a marathon (snickers) bar before going in.
So I pop into this general store opposite the ground and asks how much for a small snickers bar (not the double size one). 65p says the store keeper!
So I said how much is it when there's no match on? 50p was the reply.
Well Im not going to the match so I'll give you the 50p for it, I said. Twat wouldnt accept that and demanded the 65p. Rip off merchants the lot of 'em I tell you!I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

It is a cynical ploy that will allow them in the future to claim that sales by volume have increased.
I have been amused by the many attempts to try and market this stuff over the years but none of them have been able to overcome the fact that I think the stuff tastes disgusting.Comment

I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

in a similar vein, am in the process of booking a train ticket to london from manchester next week, and the standard class fare is £109.00 each way, first class is £74.00 each way.
Bonkers!Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!Comment

That's tapping a vein of old school Lancs class resentment. There are thousands of textile barons and supermarket owners up there who wouldn't be seen dead in 1st Class and would rather pay the extra. For another tenner they let you bring your own Tupperware 'snap'.Comment

Although I have to confess I am the only person I know who likes itI'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
