…and Guff, regarding not being able to heat vegetables: Richard Walker, CEO of Iceland
You’re as out of touch as George Eustice.
…and ‘Brian’ remind us if you will of just how long the interest rate stood at 17%….
What does the CEO of Iceland know about the subject ffs? He probably lives in the leafy suburbs and has somebody from Eastern Europe to cook his veg for him.
I refer you to the fags, booze, latest phones etc. etc.
It’s all about priorities isn’t it? If you put feeding yourself before smoking, scratch cards and booze then:
a) You wouldn’t need to use food banks.
b) You could afford to heat your root vegetables.
When I lived in Eastney, it was a common sight in the morning to see people in their pyjamas buying a small loaf, 40 fags, scratch cards and a bottle of booze (or variations on that shopping list). Later in the day they would probably have been off to the food bank.
If you give away free food people will come for it, obviously.
Did you always blame the poor, Exgaffer? Or, is this something you picked up somewhere (remember to wash your hands).
I was poor when I was younger, so I speak from experience, were you ever poor?
Try making an argument rather than coming on with all the sanctimonious bollox.
