Baffles me why England are always the last to try good things

i went to greggs and got an iced ring doughnut and, having eaten it, i can safely say that was not a mistake.

staying up til 1am playing Persona 5 when i had to get up at 6:15am was a mistake though. think i need a cat to tell me to go to bed in real life as well as in the game.

Look at that, @ericthefourth was almost a full marckee there. 10% out.

it also wound up a load of people who just know you can get a bit of schadenfreude from.

Cats tend to wake up during the night so this might not work.

I wonder if that takes into account places like Bo’s that don’t have ‘single-use’ ones any more and I end up paying 5p for more robust ones all the time now?

it’s a reference to this:

i acknowledge that, at best, two or three people may have got it

Starting to think taking on an additional role at work is a mistake :expressionless:

at the moment it’s a bit like

“Oh that sounds great can I have access to this so I gain more insight into how it works”
“No, that’s not my responsibility”
“Okay do you know who’s responsibility it is so I can contact them?”
“No”
“:smile:”

Signing a year contract for a flat of my own and then later that day learning my pay will be about £600 a month less :frowning:

I think sales of reusable ones went up by around 20%.

#52

What I’d like to know however, is whether the reusable ones are those sturdy bastards or whether the slight improvement in quality to the standard carrier in loads of places has made them officially “reusable” when they’re actually not used as such.

I had the opposite - confusion with what my tiler meant by x meters squared meant I got way too many tiles

was able to get a refund on the whole boxes though

Bos’ bags are definitely reusable.

Not doubting that, friend. Just saying that I’ve still got a shitload of them inside another carrier bag hanging off the kitchen door (other side to the onions)

Ask not for whom the n00b n00bs; it n00bs for thee.

Why do you hate Mother Earth so, Ant?

I really love her, mate. I really do. I’m just very bad at remembering to take a bag with me when I go to a supermarket.

J Sainsbury’s are doing it wrong IMO while the Co-Operative Supermarket are doing it right, because they charge you 5p for the flimsy bags you used to get for free. You can optionally add in a non-flimsy one. I don’t know if they are also 5p.
