    Also Leverhulme Park, and everything up Rivvy (Rivington). Top Barn, Bottom Barn, Pigeon Tower, Japanese Gardens, very philanthropic.

    Apart from that, what has Lord Leverhulme done for us?
    Is pigeon tower on pigeon street?

    Don't pretend you shop at Tesco. We all know you're a Lidl man.

    I am now boycotting Unilever. For Marmite I am buying Vegemite. For Persil I am buying Daz and for Pot Noodles I am going around to see Suity's wife.

    No more Pot Noodles

    Tesco removes Marmite and other Unilever brands in price row - BBC News

    Tesco has stopped selling dozens of household brands to its online shoppers because of a dispute with its biggest supplier, Unilever.

    Included are Marmite, PG Tips tea, Pot Noodles and Surf washing powder.

    Unilever wants to increase prices in the UK to compensate for the sharp decrease in the value of the pound, but Tesco is resisting that move.
    So what will the seasoned contractor do while working away and no longer able to indulge in a pot noodle, any other alternatives?

Working...
