Jeez... what a disappointment...

[Raffles]

Sorry, absolutely nothing to do with vaping...(but needed to rant)

Bought some faggots from a certain 'brand leader' as I hadn't had any for many years and used to love them, and they were on 'special offer', especially in packs of 2 (I know, I've no-one to share them with!).

Well, what a surprise, nothing like I remember... absolute **** ... what has happened to our 'used to be' favourites, e.g. wagon wheels, mars bars, even packets of crisps etc... charge a fortune for nothing but air and no taste. and very small sizes.

Rant over, and won't be buying them again!

Not Mr.Brains by any chance?

Oh Raffles...I am so with you there 

[jeffc]

Raffles cannot agree more with you. So many long lost flavour some goods, now just expensive wrapped "SHITE".

No apologies for that `word` which describes the rubbish being served up to us these days.

I know the A55 is totally rubbish. That's what I learned today.

Was it ever any good though?

Bad luck Raffles, you have my backing on these things.

Raffles I think your just reminiscing through rose tinted glasses of fluffy marshmallows and stuff from when you were a lad, reality is it was probably just as $hite then

I don't know really. Just a normal day at the office (for that road), as far as I can tell.

Possibly... but i don't think so... $hite is $hite, and it wasn't back then.

Local markets next time.
