On My Own Waaaaaaaaa

[TWR]

OH has gone out for a meal with her mates, I decided to go for a couple of bars of Chocolate, it's not often I buy sweets but thought blow it, never again, Turkish Delight the size of a mini egg, Cholate Cream, thin / narrow & shallow, who taking the izz here, the prices are the same but the quantity less, have you noticed?

[murraymints]

where's that ruler ? lol

[EcclesCake]

I cannot remember the last time I bought a chocolate bar so cannot comment on their size.

I'm not sure that shrinking them is a bad thing though.

[ummmm]

I agree, Eccles. I'd rather they shrunk the bar rather than put the price up.

[jno]

you wait till your Smarties are the size of pinheads...

[ummmm]

Didn't think of that :-D

[TWR]

Your welcome to come "T" but bring a bottle.

[DTCwordfan]

No Smarties for ummmm, she would trip over them and hit the coffee table/bookshelves/side-table or all three.

[ummmm]

Last time I fell over in the living room I hit the fire :-D Got my toe caught in my PJ bottoms...

[TWR]

Ummmm, thought you were T.T. LOL LOL, A q for you, can you remember Danny from the Bull? he moved to a Pub near the G Sausage, is he still there & do you / hubby ever see him?

[Jackdaw33]

Common practice to reduce the size whilst selling at the old price to disguise the price increase. A 500g box of cornflakes now contains 450g

[ummmm]

Was it the Golden Lion he moved to? I don't remember him from the Bull. I can't actually remember where the Bull was? How long are you going back?

[TWR]

The Bull was at the Corner of Regents Square, if you go up the hill the police / fire station was on your left, If I remember rightly, pass the Brewery heading out towards the G.Sausage the pub was on the right, I'm going back 30 years, I'm an old fart now.

[ummmm]

I'm only 44 :-)

You could mean The Welcome which is between Regents Sq and the Giggling on the right.

This one..although it might have changed colour :-)

Twr, you need 2 man size yorkies, and you need them now , :-)

[tonyav]

Yeah, I've heard about them Yorkie gals ;-)

[TWR]

Just seen this Ummmm, that place was known for the " Girls of the night" I stopped behind that pub a couple of times, got Pd off with getting knocked early hours for Business, Re Yorkies Anne, I tried not to associate with those stupid adverts, I tried to do the job to the safest of my ability.

[ummmm]

Yes...the whole area has anti kerb crawling measures. There's a small industrial site nearby where a blind eye is turned if they stick to that area.
