THE PRICE OF A PINT OF MILK? MORE THAN A THIRD OF BRITS SAY THEY COULDN’T TELL YOU

More than a third of Brits say they don’t know the price of a pint of milk or a loaf of bread, according to new research. The Real Price Report, from Aldi, shows that it’s not just politicians that don’t know the price of groceries – the average Brit thinks essentials such as a loaf […]

"Real life price of a bottle of wine £4.61". What are people drinking these days, vinegar?

Aye, I’ve heard your wallet is full of cobwebs. Shy at the bar are we?

Apple Pay. My wallet hasn’t left the house in years.

The price doesn't matter when the shelves are empty.

No empty shelves in my local Iceland, M&S, Tesco Metro, 2 little convenience stores or the Turkish/Mediterranean supermarket.

We have a milk lady who comes at 2am with an electric something to deliver it, i'm too lazy to get up and look, but i know its not an old milk float. I think there is only 3 people down the street that use them. Old school give's someone a job. Not affected by brexit either. PINTS remember them.

Blimey, you get around with your shopping. I can only vouch for our nearest Tesco - which has occasional things missing, but it always has had.

My first paid job was helping our local milkman. He had no problem with me driving his electric milk float everywhere. I was 10.

They’re all in my local high street.

Same. Nuff pedos lurking about back in those days.

I posted a thread a while back saying how our local paper shop were unable to find a paper boy / girl / trans for 6 months and ended up with a Eastern European man. Nice man, couldn't speak a word of English and now probably due to Brexit gone back to wherever he came from with his stash of millions. So another 6 months has passed and despite having 3 secondary schools within a 3 mile radius no takers. So we now have a local elderly jogger doing the papers on his jog route ! Go figure

^^^^ Same , a few years ago my (very) early morning commute would take me past a corner shop at opening time just as the newspapers were coming off the van. Their 'paper boy' was at least 70 years old. keeping himself fit and earning a bit of pocket change no doubt.

Not sure there is any real demand or the morning paper to be delivered these days.

Everyday for years I bought the Sun and the Mail. I also picked up the Metro and the Standard.
Don’t bother with any of them now.

I really miss newspapers.

But only when I have to clear up some mess, mask something off that I'm spraying or pack some fragile bits in a parcel.....

 

[E55BOF]

I really miss a daily delivery too, and they're very good for cleaning windows with as well.

Good for lining the rabbit hutch as well.

 

[ToeKnee]

I subscribe to having a newspaper sent to my phone each day, very useful when you want to catch up on what's going on but bloody useless for cleaning windows or lining rabbit hutches

Drove into my local Esso on Friday and filled my wife's car. No queues, eveey pump open. Happy days.

Except their jet wash is still broken. Sigh. Saves me a lot of time, that does.

Local Shell, not a motorway. Seems to be the standard. Think I’ll just stay home.
