Its ridiculous, there will always be a shop open on Christmas day should the need arise, its not like it used to be years ago when sops would shut over the Christmas period.

Evenin' all, It's been a proper murky dreary day today, I don't think I'm going to venture out tomorrow as everywhere will be chocabloc including the roads.

I got a text from my Bro this afternoon, he had the misfortune of filling up on the motorway services, £1.36 ltr.

Are they ripping motorists off or is that price normal ??? I haven't graced one of those places in donkeys years.

My favourite Smoked haddock new spuds & veg for tea tonight, not a ring sting ingredient in sight

Just poor greed and over indulgence Andy, I bet most of what they buy will end up in the bin anyway
