Jambomo Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Shops that think it’s a good idea to replace carrier bags with fucking paper bags. We live in one of the wettest countries ever and next thing you know there's my shopping all over the pavement and I’m chasing a bloody apple down the street. The absolute c***s charge for those bags as well. Edited January 13 by Jambomo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went back to doctor on Friday and sent for xray and signed off work,now on 3rd set of antibiotics. I had a chest infection that lasted for a couple of months just before COVID started, so I sympathise. I also had a vitamin B12 deficiency around the same time, so not sure if that was related, but it might be worth looking into B12 supplements and a SAD light to help your immune system. Only good part of the whole thing was that my boss stayed well away so he could claim that he didn't know how sick I was (thankfully not a physical job, although I was working in an unheated building in the winter, which probably didn't help). Just to cheer you up, apparently if you're sick enough you can dislodge herpes from within your cells and, if you're really unlucky, it can get into one of your eyes and fill it with infection that leaves you unable to see and makes light painful, but you have to keep it open or you'll go blind. According to a mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you improve soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 6 minutes ago, Hedgecutter said: Older people banging on about how 'X used to only cost Y pence' back in the day, as if they're completely oblivious to the concept of inflation. A bag of crisps cost 2 1/2 pence in 1971. Adjusting for inflation, that comes to 44p today. https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1971?amount=0.02 But a bag of crisps costs £1 in Tesco now https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/272757477 However, the bag in 1971 was 25g, the Tesco bag is 32.5g. 1971 crisps cost the equivalent of 1.76p per gram (adjusted for inflation). Modern crisps cost 3.08p per gram. Inflation, schmation whippersnapper. We're being ripped off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) And another thing by jimminy, Walkers crisps cost 44p in 2012. 12 years later they're £1 (for a 2.5g smaller bag). That's 227% more! According to inflation, they should only be 65p, a 48% rise. https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/2012?amount=0.44 Edited January 14 by Newbornbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, it could be a guy called Bomo who likes jam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
