to think people who are crying poor should not eat

[DwainRooney]

Warburtons seeded batch bread.

On BBc news yesterday the roving reporter was out and about in a working mans house talking about the cuts and the people where complaining about losing money but in the background on the breakfast counter was a warburtons seeded loaf at about £1.70
Now if I had to tighten my belt I would be buying cheaper bread

People must realise that we have to live within our means and if that involves buying economy bread then so be it
If your income is reduced then so must your expenditure

problem solved
spend less buy cheaper

Ribbons in your leg hair?

Beribboned Hairy Trousers I think you'll find fucking moron number 1 or 3 I can't remember which.

That should be our uniform.

As fucking moron number one I decree it.

The sad thing is lots of people share the same view as the OP and lots of them are playing at running the country.

I was always jealous of the kids who brought their sandwiches to school in a Mother's Pride bag.

I don't know why.

Was it because you had yours in a Warburton's bag and you were ashamed of your parents' fecklessness and abandon?

I had a tuppreware box.

My mother, the whore.

Tupperware?

Tsk.

How middle class.

I bet you had pampas grass in the front garden, too didn't you?

Didn't you?

we did.

I don't think they knew what it meant though......

Oh next door neighbours were twins who had married twins and all the kids looked the same. See? That's not very middle class is it? That's more

I now own a iphone, my phone broke I called o2 re what upgrade I could have (never normally bother). I am on a business contract with 3 phones for our small business, by switching to an iphone with unlimited internet usage included usage my phone bill per month was reduced by £25 per month??????????

I was livid as I realised
a) how badly had I been ripped of for the last 10 years
and
b) a friend of mine spent £400 on her credit card to get one and is struggling to pay it off, yet if we wanted we can have 3 for being tied into a 12 month contract.

I took the iphone as I am by no means wealthy and £25 extra per month means I can
buy whatever bread I want. But I still walk to the garage to buy it as I don't have money to waste....like most people.

thank god someone mentioned pampas grass, I've waited 13 pages"!

I hope you're wrong, Gideonsmum (though I suspect you're right). But they can't move me out of the south east; I've, like, got the accent and everything!

I'm still rolling about over "sumo ring for ants" (inspired!), but given the tone of this thread no 55 is probably the most appropriate.

I like white bread, though. Seeds get stuck between my teeth. I once lost a piece of filling eating wholegrain bread - true story. So I'll be laughing while the rest of you drag the country down into economic ruin through your gastronomic profligacy.

Er, is maple fudge ponce food?

I had a pampas grass outside the last house I rented.........I attempted to kill it by spade and fire - but failed

"ust get old. Then your pubes wander down your leg and keep you warm of a winter."

Riven - I nearly sprayed fairtrade coffee on my laptop computer

if it were an artisanal sourdough i'd be right there with you, but Warbutons? Branded bread?! How very ITV demographic.

don't wash underwearmore often than is strictly necessary.
Repeat after me insies, outsies, backsies. frontsie

Two pairs of crackers will last you a week.

Do you mean this?

£21, guys and gals. Yes. Really.

Is it because I am man that you are all against my money saving ideas
sexism is alive and well on MN

A while ago Martin Lewis (I think his name is) the money saving expert on telly did a show about going down one level to the next cheapest food stuffs and the family in question saved a lot of money

You ae all snobs who complain about the cuts but when someone offers you FREE advice on saving money you dont want to know

We didn't ask for advice, we came on to laugh at the outrage over a loaf of seedy bread. You then turned it into a tips thread which included using newspaper instead of toilet roll.
And if you are man, I am woman.

No dear, it really isn't a gender thing in this case. It's more, shall we perhaps say, a class thing? No, not that exactly... someone help me out here...

pleased to meet you mrs/ms/miss SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood

Martin Lewis is an unsufferable smug berk.

So, y'know, make of that what you will.

Dwain - go get a job as a financial advisor, you are clearly an economic genius waiting for great things.

And while you are at it, go drink your diamond white with a cracker and leave us to our sauvignon and crudites!

'who knew the humble bread bag had so many uses.

first tiem I read that I missed the word bread and thought it was about me
