Even if this is a squid it would still be expensive because I will not be able to wear it ... only found out they are small for me after wearing them for 4 times ...

Any of the crisps/chocolate bar/soft drinks.

I've have a rummage in the drawer tomorrow - I'm sure I've got some that I can send you for £1 posted. I'll even discount it to the price of a 1st class stamp.
Back on topic:
Bread.
Going one stop on lothian buses is now £1.40. I drive instead.
If Morrisons ever "charge" more than £1 for a shopping trolley I'm off!

I think you need to take a grown up with you to help you buy shoes.
Cup of tea.
Definitely a pint of beer/lager. What kind of twisted world do we live in where a pint of beer is more than a quid?
It doesnt cost a quid, but i grudge paying anything to use the compressor at the petrol station. Track pump and digital pressure gauge - is that a bit tight?
Depends how high pitch the fart is.
Thanks CSW! Looked on eBay and only found the ceramic ones earlier. But if you have some floating about will send the price of a pint, so long as its not more than £1 nowadays! 😉
Oh - a Pint! I'll have a rummage tomorrow. Of course when pints were £1 bearings were smaller too. 😉
So then we'll be even.
I'll email you tomorrow.

Yes, I really feel like a tool ... 😕
It's size 45 like any of my other shoes but somehow it's a bit smaller. I should have gone for 46 ...
An expensive lesson learned. Might sell it on STW for half price or give it to my nephew if he wants it.
🙁
