    Well, least someone may have a chance at the last post of the year on the 31st. AtW will be fighting off teenagers looking for ciggies in some Siberian backwater, while the rest of us burn worthless 50 quid notes to stay warm because the French energy companies have cut off the leccy.

    We are going to have to weigh up the cost and benefits of Brexit when it comes.

    Freedom from the EUssr, our own laws, our own borders, our own military, ability to control immigration, £350m per week in EU fees saved

    vs

    5p more for a box of minging mass produced French Fancies.

    Atw will think it over and report back.

    Just don't mention BSE

    I'm in discussions with a few local farms at the moment to setup a co-op farm shop. Locally sourced, untouched by foreign hands, support your local economy. We've already started working on a new brand of milk called 'Straight from the Cow', some new cheeses & yogurts and more importantly cheaper veg. As we're not sorting it and grading it, we can see it cheaper. I was going to call it AtW Veg, but we decided Ugly Veg was just the same.

    Prices of Oxo, Bisto and Mr Kipling to rise after pound's Brexit plunge

    Shoppers will have to pay more for Oxo stock cubes, Bisto gravy and Mr Kipling cakes as the firm behind the brands prepares to raise prices to offset the fall in the pound triggered by the Brexit vote.

    Premier Foods, which also owns Homepride, Batchelors and Ambrosia rice pudding, will become the latest in a string of companies to offset the weakness of sterling after Unilever clashed with Tesco over the price of products including Marmite.

    The news comes as a survey showed supermarket prices had risen over Christmas for the first time in more than two years, underlining expectations that household budgets will come under increased pressure in 2017.

    Oh dear, the march to parity has just begun...
