That's frightening - I mean the fact that you do it. Why, in Heaven's name? Not for fun, surely.

Having said that, I bet it is interesting reading.

And so many bloody calculations in the bill. I've only been in my current house a year, so have not too much to comapre with - I pay less because it is better insulated, but that's another story.

You should have seen my reaction when oats went from £1.25 to £1.50 in one go - that's 25% for cyring out loud!

Where would conversation be without generalisation?

Is there a need for such a combative attitude?



The generalisation that everyone in Britiain has a disease of 'whining about everything'? That's not part of the actual conversation, it's just a complaint about people who are angry with the rising, and unfair, cost of living.



Does anybody else hear whining when they read that?

I have a wall at the bottom of my garden that is 4 ft tall. On the wall is a cat. The cat has green eyes. It does not speak. It only moves. When the cat moves, the rat moves. In the rat's eye, I see a rapist. That rapist is me. I rape the rat. I rape the cat. I rape the wall. The wall hurts. The cat and rat feel good. Therefore I know more about everything then God.

See my point fellow mansizers? When and where is the next meet? I want to show you all the rat and the cat. They can talk now, but only of the terrible trama they have endured. It is so sad.
