    There were two more stupid behaviors.... Firstly in the queue they were all stood next to each other chatting like they had no cares in the world.

    The second one was when some moron decided to take his young daughter in with him, so loaded her into the trolley.
    Wouldn't have been so bad, if unavoidable, but his partner was sat in the car playing on her phone...

    I'm convinced we are living in the land of many, many thickos

    That's the case now (self assessment income used) - used to be a special investigation was needed to include dividends.

    Had a 6 week all expenses paid holiday in hostel accommodation to consider how I could have done things better.

    Rich people stay rich by not spending money unnecessarily. Aldi and Lidl quality is fine. As good as Waitrose, if not better, just not so prettily packed. (And more poor people...).

    When it comes to marriages, too many is not enough.

    That is what MrsBP says. Is she v26 or v27?

    Had to change my mind, as some things are just better.

    The ice cream made by Strachans is one of them
