Similar experience with national insurance contributions a few years back, they wrote me a stiff letter saying They had no records of my contributions over several years, threatened all sorts of money recovery procedures. I reply in writing stating it was wrong as I had wage slips for that time...

erased plz lock this dead thread

Yeah pretty much my thoughts on the subject, funny when it sticks to the ceiling though, pancakes that is...:whistle:

Indeed the litter shuffle has been heard more often with all the recent wet weather, or as Mrs Slocombe would say "a wet pussy is a happy pussy" Some breakfast Muesli is same price as cat litter...now there's a thought.

Common sense eating died when supermarkets got a grip on us. My main point was not so much the consumption of food more the complete balderdash we are continually drip fed by so called experts over the years. Are all food scientist/food boffin types all stick thin? I doubt it. Food...

Easy... 5 gallons of 97 octane fuel... a 25 foot long match... bask in warmth, wrap a few tatties in foil, bottle of favorite beer. Sounds like the typical British barbie.

Well I suppose it would happen at some point in food consumption history, the food boffins are telling us in the media today the science behind eating fat was 1950's 60's outdated nonsense. They now switched thinking to sugar as the main culprit for obesity. Words Id' like to use are not...

I find newsagent in general put out last months mags just before the new ones arrive. Our local weekly rag is re-shelved the day before the new edition is for sale. Deceit improves profit margin.

My view is zoo's run with the banner of "we care for and love animals" then shoot them even if fit and healthy for some gene-pool crap theory. Just issue male giraffes with condoms....simples.

I never buy anything that can be opened that is nearest the front of the display as I've bought anti histamine and ibuprofen and such like only to find on arriving home some of the contents are missing as some git has opened the package and partially removed the contents. Do what most people do...

Oh and yes the sugar free jelly, soon as it appears on my local Asda shelves it's gone :(

Flap jacks, chocolate, porridge with syrup, home made Victoria sponge, various puddings, 1/4 teaspoon sugar in tea, Cappuccino, I eat all these things in moderation although not every day. :) I have lost nearly 4 stone since last April plateaued for over the last 6 weeks-ish. renewed...
