Same deprivation that my mother thinks we had growing up, in her head we were struggling on £80k a year because we didn’t own a horse.

I should really do something about the hole in my bedroom wall before then.

(Not that dramatic, it's a hole on the interior wall where a headrest used to be, and at some point I guess it broke through & since getting a new bed I've not really bothered to cover it up, but there is a slight breeze some times in winter, I normally just put the pillows where it is to block it)

My sister's mother-in-law works at a Waitrose and she's incredibly specific. It's fun sometimes to say 'You work in a supermarket, right?' and have her get all sputtery. I don't hate her but my goodness she's a tremendous snob.

Benefits of a solitary lifestyle:

Half my locally-living family have got covid. The half that haven't, I have just been told, have got nits, presumably picked up from my great-niece's junior school.


Waitrose essentials Greek yoghurt, lovely & creamy (the full fat one). Currently £1.15 for 500g.
Also, the only place round here that sells halva without requiring a mortgage (there are only 2 places including Waitrose. The other is the health food shop that sells tiny portions for about double what the 250g pack in Waitrose costs).

Well without a complete survey that also includes your locally-dead and locally-undead family it's hard to say for sure, but this suggests that nits are protective against SARS-COV-2 infection :thunk:

There is actually some consistency - although not really fairness - here. The sane conservative objection to the Corbyn government I along with most of this thread voted for was that it would result in exactly this collapse in market confidence. It’s the real-world reason to fear a radical government, because it will inevitably involve a substantial amount of misery for everyone in the short term. It’s a legitimate concern.

I don’t think any of the “sensible” Tories expected that the radical government that tanked the economy would have been them. Fuckers. But if there is a straw of hope in all of this, it is that whatever situation we land in after this will be about the same as after a radical left wing budget.

It may not matter because this is apparently hellworld and the electorate who actually vote don’t read the news and proceed ballistically on their own trajectory regardless. But if things happening mattered, it would severely discredit the threat of a radical left wing budget.

I've never been to Waitrose. Probably because my closest Waitrose is Stirling, a mere 150 miles south of here.

Important to remember that the only place where they went wrong according to these people was they didn't cut spending dramatically at the same time as cutting taxes. That's it. An idiotic situation to be sure.

Do they hire a posher class of peon for the posh shop?

It's funny I've never actually seen a waitrose, or a john lewis, they're just not up here I think. I've seen a booths at the lake district once and that was fab, lovely deli counter and bakery, and a machine what for you can watch it torment real oranges to make you a bottle of juice.

E; according to the map there is a john lewis in leeds and in newcastle, and a builder's merchant of the same name in northallerton which is closest to me, and if I want a waitrose it's either newcastle, york, or harrogate.

We do have a parfett's cash and carry though.
