10 pence

Did anyone see Room 101 tonight? (look it's Friday night, I needed some light entertainment after my week) Frank Skinner mentioned that 30 years ago 2 chicken kievs in M&S were £2. And now, they are still £2.**

One of these pizzas in this photo was 10p. Sainsbury's (I was only in there because the wine shop was closed,ok?) were selling pizzas for £3.90. Or two for £4.00. No wonder we* are all fat b'stards.

Bit of a strain at work today - trying not to tell some of the customers that they're actually not always right.

However, now I am full of pizza, sipping a wine and listening to Tom Robinson's Leonard Cohen playlist. I think generally cover versions of Mr Cohen's tunes are very, very good. But that'll be because he is a craftsman, and anyone covering his songs will want to ensure that they remain perfect.


* when I say "we", I am actually using the royal "we"


** Foreign Blippers, I realise that this paragraph will mean nothing to you. But don't worry, it's all rather boring, you need not concern yourselves with it.
