    I just did a shop around and found a cheaper comparable offer - even from the same company that hiked the renewal.
    I just sack them off for trying to rob me and chose someone else <cheers>

    Day off today and nipped out at lunchtime. Called in at the coop and it was full of school kids buying their lunch. I saw kids buying 4 packs of donuts, tubes of pringles and all sorts of ****e.

    As I say, society is lazy and folk could take a lot more personal and family level responsibility for their own situation.

    Read this yesterday:

    I noted that the immigrants are provided with meals cooked by the hotel, but it's that ****e, they're putting themselves at risk by cooking in their rooms.

    Aye I read that. People making out they’re living the life of Riley are far from the truth. Many of the hotels were in decline when they were used, some closed already. In truth it’s a ****e life but many feel safer.
