Last year a small bag of Mini Eggs in Asda was £1. Today they're £1.50. I'm pretty sure that they're smaller bags too.

This is what will finally bring this useless government down.

Wouldn't hold your breath, Terry's making their "chocolate" eggs with washing up liquid hasn't stopped people buying them.

Just get a 100g and wait until they hatch and grow up and lay more eggs if you want 1kg.

Wow, and the locals definitely don't try to lynch pilots for being Warlocks with the power to command Dragons?

And to top it all off, they've got an airside WH Smiths?

Blimey! I might need to revisit my mate who lives in Norwich again.

Although in  theory I could quite easily eat a bag of Mini Eggs (size deliberately unspecified) every day, fortunately I don't.

Speaking of Terry's WTF is a Terrys Chocolate Orange Mint supposed to be? Shaped the same as an orange, in segments but mint flavoured?? What are they on in the Terry's factory?

Lidl 1 litre olive oil has just gone up from 3.99 to 5.99 in two quick increments, and a similar jump for the extra virgin. I couldn't believe my eyes in Sainsburys the other day.

I forgot about that, had to pay it when I went to a tanker course down in Lowestoft 16 years ago! Only other flights on were helicopters out to the rigs.
