This country is so over.

It's not just one country. It's most of the world.
I bought four batteries for a UPS in February this year. €39.40 for the 4 batteries. I went to buy the same batteries from the same place today, and they're €36 each!
We're getting royally screwed, and not because of minimum wage, or immigrants, it's because greed.

When did slabs of beer reduce in size from 24 cans to 18?

I am sure they were 24 cans when I was one to drink a lot of lager back when I was a bloody lad 20 odd years ago

There’s also been a shift to 440ml being a more standard size than 500ml I think

 

[Ax^]

don't even look at the strength of the lager ..

Yeah i read some beer brands are reducing their abv because of the new alcohol duty system.

 

[Ax^]

aye price per unit being brought in my beer companies rather than the government..

saying that some are weird like Carling dropping it back.. jebus were they not fined at one point. for having over estimated their abv for years

Spent £3.90 On a bag of fucking opal
Fruits at Millwall the other week and I swear there’s was about 20
In there. I felt like the smashing the place up and and remembered it’s one of the most cctvd grounds in Europe.

I bought a multipack of McCoy's cheddar and onion crinkle cut crisps today. The bags inside are fucking tidgy. You need to scoff two bleedin' bags to make anything near a proper whole bag. I feel proper ripped off.

RIP of Britain was always a bit of annoying phrase but it truly is. Very very few things feel reasonable to me price wise. In a way though it has meant me cutting down on shit I don’t need and save save save.
