One V.O.G.'s Thoughts for the Day

3 for 2

Mar 192012

There’s no doubt about it, the Supermarkets seem to think that we very Senior Citizens are stupid!

“Buy 3 melons and pay for 2″;  “Buy 3 loaves of bread and pay for 2″;  “Buy 24 toilet rolls and pay for 16″ etc. etc.

Firstly, where are we going to put all these when we arrive home with them and will we be able to eat the food before it goes off!! -   and live long enough to use all the toilet rolls?!
So. it would seem that we are being penalised for only buying ONE item which costs us more, and consequently, we are   subsidizing all those 3 for  2 customers.  IS THIS RIGHT?
What do YOU think?

New Year’s Fireworks

Jan 12012
I wonder whether everyone enjoyed the  magnificent firework display from the  River Thames last night as much as I did? I had earlier watched the New Year celebrations from Australia and I didn’t dream that ours could have been better.  Maybe I’m biased (!) but I just loved our display with Big Ben as the central focus. For those who missed it, here is the replay on YouTube.
