    Might want to read this before buying your meat from any supermarket:

      I personally avoid eating chicken breasts as I prefer my meat to have a bone in it.

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          I've always wondered why I struggle to buy a pair of chicken breasts out here weighing in at 500g, at best the max I can find is 350g.

            All British breasts are pumped up with hormones or water.

                  Government and bankers now think the poor are only suitable as wage/debt slaves and should be terminated once their usefulness is over.

                  Thankfully the plebs are kept happy with a diet of TV football and cheap booze. Or there would be a revolution.

                    I've got Aldi and Lidl in walking distance from my new house. Had never considered them before but wouldn't go elsewhere now. They cover all the essentials at cheaper prices than Asda/Tesco etc, but don't have all the carp to tempt you to buy more than you meant to. Like 100 magazines 500 different wines, and 50 brands and types of pasta.

                    Saying that Aldi do have some good offers, in the last two months, I've nearly bought a 800w genny for £60, a log splitter, and some LED workd lamp. However I managed to convince my self Ididn't actually need them.

                    They're still not the cheapest for meat/veg though. I go to the bull ring markets in Brum for that. 3 mangos for £1, vs £1 in Aldi or £1.20 as Asda. Most important I can get Oxtail, pheasant, Tilapia or Halal chicken. And oil and rice is always cheapest at the independent asian supermarkets. Like £16 for 20kg sacks. At least then if the end does come, I'll last 3 weeks longer than everyone else before I have to start rioting.

                    MY motto is that "You get rich by NOT spending money you do have, and poor by spending money you don't have" (i.e credit cards).
