lol!

The point being that there can often be false economies - what you save on the roundabouts you lose on the swings......i.e, urban driving costs with petrol at £1.35... Ford Mondeo urban consumtion at 26 mpg and 8 extra miles (4 there, 4 back = £1.20 extra plus the hidden costs.....)

I know :o)

We were pretty much equidistant between the Tesco stores.

We were a short, pleasant stroll away from Safeways, which is where we did our regular shop, but we couldn't persuade the cats to use their kitty-litter. :o(

They trained us well!

That don't come into it since families in the less affluent areas can't afford cars, their problem is where to dump the supermarket trolley.

[DTCwordfan]

That is cats for you......

DT indeed it is, mine fell in the bath once, trying to lick water from the tap, and had a hell of a job trying to get out..

[DTCwordfan]

The one here did the same thing - I was in the bath and she jumped up for a scratch. Sitting there on the edge, next thing she slipped and was in and
one wet moggy. Still does it though......She's here cuddled in on my left elbow as I type.....and work beckons, otherwise I will be eating AOG's cake.

I can appreciate people cutting down on fruit if money is tight. On top of the money I spend buying ingredients for meals I spend an extra £10 a week on average on fresh fruit, and that's just for one person............

Pity the poor unprivileged who happen to live in a middle class area.

No worries craft, it is a Non-Story anyway, that has turned into tales of cats and cat litter problems.

rov like me you mean, i looked in window of local estate agents recently, and they are selling two bed flats for 2.5 million, don't live in the capital seems to be the motto if you want to buy. And some local new builds going up, poky at that, will be selling around the same sort of figure.

AOG, i reckon your OP has been covered extensively, more to add i am sure.
