I suppose people don't think of things like that in "Debt-dependent Britain".

Its a ponzi scheme - still increasing.

14. Sit-on mower
That's not a sign that you’ve arrived. It’s a sign that you’re fat and lazy.

Try mowing 4 acres with a push mower

My opinion:

The following should have been top of the list:

"You always pay your credit card bill(s) in full every month without fail (without having to compromise your lifestyle to do so), and the only other debt you have is a mortgage with no more than 3 x your gross annual salary left to pay off."

I suppose people don't think of things like that in "Debt-dependent Britain".

I seriously doubt any younger contractor living in London has a mortgage of £30,000.

How if you talk about income then that's a different matter.....

Something to look for when I next find myself north of the border

Mmm, I do miss them. They're perfectly shaped for sandwiches or rolls, like a slab of sausage

52. Do you have a butler?

I must give their beef a try next time I'm over that side of town. I prefer fatty meat; that's where the flavour lives.

I miss waitrose

They have crappy tiny supermarkets ( my family's shop is bigger), that never have consistent stock and really naff quality food.

*sigh*

The Waitrose beef is very good, far higher quality than the other supermarkets, their mince is very fatty though which maybe a preference thing, consumers want super lean beef then flood the stuff with olive oil, the modern way, maybe Waitrose just don't think like that.

Their sausages are a bit hit and miss, I have a pack in my fridge just now and they are a day out of date so I was not running to them, Ill probably eat them tomorrow. I just don't really like 'quality' links, they make them too thick which people equate with expensive but the middle just ends up a squelching unappetising fatty mess.

I pity the rest of the UK, you will never know the absolute and true expression of sausage that we Scots have that is the Lorne.



I used to make 20kg of these every Tuesday for 5 years

I've shopped at Waitrose. It's just a big scam really. The sausages clearly come out of the same factory as the ones at Sainsbury's and M&S - in fact M&S have a range that are superior to any of the Waitrose ones.

The Waitrose bacon also has nothing to commend it over equivalent bacon at Sainsbury's.

As far as I can tell, the only reason people shop at Waitrose is because it allows them to think wasting money on foreign-sounding muck like "foccacia" (l??? I have no idea, and don't care, and it's made in Walsall and you're being conned) is normal, because other people are buying it. Wake up, morons: you're in England. Leave foreign bread to the foreigners, and eat English food. Which, BTW, is cheaper for the same goods at places other than Waitrose

They're at Iceland for a fiver...

And Aldi as well...

You're not thinking of Kerry Katona's prawn ring are you?

No, don't think so...

If you get your lobster at Lidl for a fiver, does that mean you're a success or not?

I don't really class having a big TV and one in every room as a sign of success, either.

I saw the Lidl lobster but had no room in the freezer - hope they have them again soon
