Five quid and a box of After Eights?

Post by meercat »

There are a few days to go admittedly but it looks like that's pretty much all I'm getting this year. Bloody great. Last year I cleared a monkey (or whatever 100quid is).

Like most of us I'm on a new round but with a trolley so maybe customers just think I'm the local ice-creme seller? Imagine it, Ice-creme, in DECEMBER??

What with the size of rounds these days If every house gave me just one measly quid I'd be happy. That would buy me a holiday, a s**t load of jazz mags and enough Hob Nobs to keep the Titanic afloat. Happy days. :cuppa

Stuff your bleedin After Eights Misses - I DON'T LIKE EM. :so there

No-one really likes After Eights.
You just eat them because the only thing left in the kid's selection box is the Crunchie and that's even worse.
Who invented Crunchies and why?

Good question. I reckon it was an Australian. Not sure why but it kind of makes sense.
