And there are plenty of deprived areas of the country. It shows how desperate a lot of folk are. Expensive takeaways still do well in 'impoverished' areas. Reckon it's areas full of people to thick to cook that are the issue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,528 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Pint of Asda milk, don't do em but £1.16 for 2 pints, local Spar, 85p a pint, local petrol station, 90 a pint, motorway services £1+ Different levels of buying power, hence the price differential.

jukel123 6,570 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I once saw a group of Romanian gypsy women being obviously amateurish in their attempt to steal from a supermarket but they didn't actually cross the threshold and leave the shop. They got the security man and a couple of assistants surrounding them and they made a lot of noise. Meanwhile another of their group ( dressed in conventional clothes) marched out with a trolley full of high end goods. Saw them laughing in their 4x4 in the car park. They are a nightmare those gypsies when you are abroad on holiday. I have been surrounded by them a few times asking me to buy flowers etc whilst they try and take your wallet or spare cash .. I just put my hands in my pockets and tell them to f**k off or vamos" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are two types of working class oldies who are comfortably off. One pulls up the drawer bridge and says, well If I can make money so can you and has no affiliation with the poor. There's another who says I was dead lucky, there's plenty of my mates who weren't, things are a LOT harder for young people then they once were. Stats show working class people are being squeezed like never before. I think you fit in the former category. I agree with the things are harder for young people bit completely mate, imho the whole system has been engineered so that nobody will ever stand a chance of getting off the wheel. Ideas of 50 year mortgages that will be inherited by children are now being banded around. We have to f***ing stop this madness somehow. Seeing a security tag on a block of cheese should shame everyone into action……but then again, so should the rape of our children by 3rd world gangs but it’s don’t seem too. Jesus f***ing Christ like ? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
