cup and coffee/tea going in from now on
and 80p for a f***ing mars bar (and its the same size as multipack) £1 for 4 in asda across the road
60p for packet of crisps
think they will be paying off a few folks when everyone stops using them
Last week got 7 bounty’s for £1.50 at Tesco. We all had one, now we take it in turns so we don’t get robbed by quadrant. It’s a disgrace that we are getting robbed off them

Hearing that in the small print of the "deal" RM will offer to fit staff with a catheter
thus saving the need to return to office for a wee , wonder if the work place coach
will get the gig to fit them before everyone leaves the office, well if you sell your soul for
thirty odd pieces of silver you have to take the rough with the smooth as they say :crazy: :crazy:
