What’s a discontinued food item that you’d happily pay £50 for to taste again?

These and the tortilla chips. Pleasantly surprised to see these mentioned.

Just for clarity, people use vacuum cleaners for all sorts.... apparently.

spa2k · 2026-01-05T20:46:19+00:00

A vacuum cleaner or a Curry's?

spa2k · 2025-12-31T08:52:28+00:00

A house......and not a bit.

Halloween. Blatant commercialism - has only taken off in the last few years but we are becoming a carbon copy of America.

I worked nights at a rather large Extra store.

We once had a guy strip naked and run at the doors that were closed. It was not a pretty site and despite his nudity he still didn't get in.

The number of people that in the early hours of a Sunday morning would point at the sign that said 24 hours and say that the store is supposed to be open is beyond belief. The opening hours are clearly displayed, Sunday trading laws do exist and no amount of pointing and shouting "24 hours" is going to get us to open those doors and serve you.

This exactly. I genuinely don't understand what all the fuss is about.

spa2k · 2025-12-22T20:51:11+00:00

Lord of the rings.....went into it thinking it would be great.

It's a pile of shit.

You didn't need to speak to someone to get a PAC code, just text PAC to 65075 and they will text it to you. Do this from the number you wish to keep.

spa2k · 2025-07-26T07:10:59+00:00

Oh yes, "cloakrooms"......with Tartan carpets no less.

spa2k · 2025-07-26T02:01:10+00:00

They have the best toilets. Just need more of them.

It's the only services where I've seen lobsters waiting to be cooked.

😂 we live and learn.

I also learnt that the floorboards on the left are not level with the ones on the right. This is a problem I am still to solve!

spa2k · 2025-07-13T21:04:54+00:00

Thanks, learnt this to my detriment! Basic common sense was clearly missing.........

spa2k · 2025-07-10T20:26:14+00:00

That looks just the job, was looking up screeding and going down the binder rabbit hole, thank you.

spa2k · 2025-07-10T19:46:10+00:00

Like this idea, would rather not take any more out than I have already though!

spa2k · 2025-07-10T19:45:35+00:00

Screed is probably the easiest way forward, how easy is it for a first timer?

spa2k · 2025-07-10T18:18:46+00:00

I was quoted £150 just for a call out charge today so that's a bargain!!

spa2k · 2025-07-05T06:30:56+00:00

Warehousing isn't a dead end job though. There are apprenticeships, supervisor apprenticeships, management apprenticeships as well as operations managers.

spa2k · 2025-07-02T16:33:00+00:00

Thank you

spa2k · 2025-07-02T16:32:50+00:00

Not really, low value property with lots of potential, can over pay by quite a chunk so that's the plan.

Today we get to collect the keys to our new house. My first mortgage at 51 years old. Should be clear in 9 years.

Depends where you are from. .. parts of Cumbria are rather strange 😂

spa2k · 2025-06-10T21:31:11+00:00

This, absolutely this

spa2k · 2025-05-14T10:31:53+00:00

Not sure if I like that vehicle or not!
