I absolutely don't buy for a second a woman as clued up as you feigning this type of ignorance. Nice try though :)

In exchange for this thing you call 'ice', I have also observed people handing over little rectangles of paper with a posh woman's face on one side.....


Then the best part is, the supermarket hands back little discs of metals with the same posh woman's face on one side....!

Aaah, that'll be that 'money' these blow-ins use, they're too lazy to toil in the fields and lug the fruit of their labours to market to trade for what they need. Instead the slack bastards do something they call 'work', for which they get this new-fandangled 'money' which they use to trade in those shop things for the stuff they think they need, like ice.

Wish we could go back to the good old days.

I wish I'd 'discovered' frozen bags of ice cubes much sooner. Why did I ever bother with those bloody stupid novelty pineapple, elephant and flamingo shaped trays as those fuckers never come out no matter how hard you try.


You can get 'artisan' frozen ice cubes Louisa - why have bog standard filtered water ice cubes when you can have posh mineral water ice cubes in niche sizes for ?2 quid a pop instead of a pound eh?

I have since been informed my last useable shop along the lane for day to day essentials at reasonable prices also partakes in this novelty fad of selling ice cubes in a bag. I'm not sure if that was tongue in cheek from said poster just to press my buttons unnecessarily, but I will be checking in Londis tomorrow to see if this indeed is the case.

    • I normally vote Lib Dem and will continue to do so.
    • the reason Tories have lost votes is because they have lost trust primarily. the voters didn't vote for what the Tories did, but what they promised. you can't blame the voters for the outcome, just because they voted for the party. Labour are in a position of influence so we will have to see what they do.  Reform are there, as quite a presence should Labour continue to fail. It feels as if we are on a very thin line
    • I agree with that The voters authorised strong austerity in 2010 and kept voting for it for 14 years - for that reason alone, given Labour have been in power for only months I can't find my else able to equate them as bad as each other. Yet. It may happen and given Labour's poor decision making and comms to date I wouldn't be surprised if they end up that way Problem is the voters say they want one thing (lower prices/better public services/things working) but then don't reward any government that tries to deliver -  and they explicitly said they wanted higher prices with Brexit and lower public services by voting Cons in for 14 years - so they got what they wanted, they just don't like the reality Whoever is elected now has to find a way to address those years of underinvestment and diminished growth - there is no painless way out. But blaming immigration for everything (Reform speciality) is only making everything worse
    • That’s good to know, but it just wasn’t clear to me.
