Copy cat.

Tortington · 19/11/2009 15:31

i just think it is so unfair, we both work and we can't afford thorntons, they are ADDICTS, surely they should be on benefits and live in a council house where i don't have to see them?

we are reduced to buying selection boxes from wilkinsons to get cheap chocolate. Yet they have exactly the same house as me and can afford thorntons It's so unfair that society can discriminate against us like that.

What's more i saw her walking down the street the other day with a bar of Green & Blacks. Surely this couple should do this thing in private?

quick, give your 3yo a rice cake to hold - that should wipe out the obesity germs

SixtyFootDoll · 19/11/2009 15:45

The choclate addicts in my street keep chucking their yorkie wrappers in my wheelie bin.
I wouldnt mind but I pay my council tax and they dont.

She may have a metabolic disorder that means she burns up twice the amount of energy as a normal person and therefore needs to eat copious amounts of chocolate just to keep her weight up (my father and sister have this problem). That may be another reason to dislike her though.

Tortington · 19/11/2009 15:46

i think its too late she licked the inside of a wrapper, i am trying hard not to bet overly anxious but have ordered an organics box and changed her name to 'woo'

custardo - oh no, she must instantly have falafel to counteract it. Or all bran. Or possibly aloe vera juice. Maybe all 3?

LazyJourno · 19/11/2009 16:06

Custardo - Can I CAT you to get some more details please? Where abouts in the country are you? It's not terribly important but if you're home counties I get an extra couple of hundred for the article.

Have you got any footage of this behaviour?

Do you think the Thornton's woman would talk to me?

BitOfFun · 19/11/2009 16:08

I think you'd have to pay a fee, LJ. She is probably very busy scoring caramel cups.

Excellent. Tell me, do you vote Tory

And I assume neither you or your family are immigrants or poor?

SomeGuy · 19/11/2009 16:31

thorntons is shite chocolate, YABU

Tortington · 19/11/2009 16:33

Lord NO! although we do give last seasons clothes to oxfam, so i identify with te suffering of poor people. We are not completely out of touch with the underclass.

unfortunatley DH has foreign ancestry - some Royal connection Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen. We don't talk about it.

I do Vote Conservative as i really do think that DC can help common people as he cycles and married that SG sheffield woman.

I wonder if we could be looking at a "People's Champion" senario?

Do you also do charity work?

Tortington · 19/11/2009 16:47

i am ofcourse ( considering my Social standing) a Trustee in several charities. We spend much more than we make in donations organising the annual ball
