    A pack of 8 of those frothy cappuccino sachets. They’re worth about a quid for taking to work or camping and stuff.

    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 …

    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.

    If not:

    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.

    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?

    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.

    🙁
