Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

A women going bonkers today in the pub having to pay 50p for a lemon to squeeze on her sea bass, I love living in Leigh.

Sea bass?

In Leigh?

Aye, alright then.

More likely a Bream out of Penny Flash.

No they have real ones but they don’t use them for eating - see the thread about the murdered trans girl

That's a bit underhand, you can't blame a whole town for the loss of the poor girl .

When I was at uni we went through a phase of eating off cardboard plates to save on washing up 

Another time when the washing up piled up, we put it in the shower and washed it that way

I always thought students were lazy cunts when I worked in Fallowfield.

You say lazy, we would have said inventive 😃

Too right. I certainly was (and with a borderline drink problem)

If I'm being honest I still am. Work smart not hard.

Sorry, it was below the belt

I see Centrica's profits have tripled over the last year. Sticks in the throat a bit.

Wonder if it can be found how much profit they made actually in the UK?

Seems they paid £1bn in tax so fair enough.

The energy supply bit (British Gas) only made £72m profit.

It’s all UK isn’t it?

They pay about 30% tax overall, but there should be a windfall in addition I think given that they made this profit because of Ukraine. Give the money to the government to assist with all the aid we’ve provided.

Energy is a basic to survive, it shouldn’t be making stupid profits.

Energy, water and transport should all be nationalised still.

Busy ish

but all the Food places where Rammed 

Think Trafford Center would be rammed if there was a flesh eating apocalypse.

Some fantastic fanny on show there.
