These guys are in soooo much trouble.
Tried M&S's Strawberry Sandwich - apparently it's popular in Japan. Must say it was very nice indeed!
M&S shelves are noticeably empty in the Ballyhackamore Food only store.
Due to supply chain issues after their cyberattack woes I expect.
I went to town to find trousers. One pair of jeans, one pyjama bottoms or similar.
I hit up the thrift/charity stores first. I wasn't hopeful because they never seem to have anything for my body type, but being the anti-consumerism sib that I am, I always want to give it a shot.
Thrift stores were a bust. I headed straight to TK Maxx, because cheap. The cheapest they had, which felt would survive a few seasons at least, were £55. Diesel brand, okay, but those were the cheapest.
Pissed, I left to get more tea from the tea shop, and then walked back to the other side of the city to go to the middle-class department store M&S to find jeans. Since they've been hacked recently, I couldn't look online to find prices. But because of that, maybe they would have deals.
I braced myself, and found two pairs of trousers for the price of the TK Maxx Diesel jeans. One pair of Wranglers and one linen pants because they're soft and comfy and airy.
The department store's underpants were more expensive than their jeans! 3-pack of basic undies (briefs), £35. Wrangler jeans, £23.
"Everything is taken into account. The manufacture, the materials, the shipping..."
Yeah, I get that, you Neoliberal cum stains, but nowhere on this dying earth should well-made branded jeans cost more than a basic pack of tighty whities.
Wow, I'm still pissy about this. It's just weird to me.
If a vaguely intelligent person can't make sense of your pricing, can we just agree y'all just make it all up?

Can anyone help me? Does anyone know where I can buy an ordinary cola without sweetners in the UK? (Serious question)

"We may argue that some of the negative effects may not happen because they are dose dependent but we simply don’t know what that effect will be in the long term on humans.
Even at doses approaching normal usage of Bovaer, animal studies demonstrated risk, including a potential to cause cancer with tumour formation. And let’s not forget the FDA’s warning of harm to fertility."
