I have no idea why but I keep seeing your avatar and for some reason thinking the user posting is Dblock.

Just strawberry floating amazing

Partridge was largely based on Quentin Wilson back in the day, I wonder if it would be based on Madley now?

What even was the point he was trying to make? Does he think we should have gone after German children as well? Or should we show Begum the same clemency as was shown to members of the Hitler Youth? HMMM MAEKS U FINK THO

Such a moron, that Suzanna Reid must wonder what it's going to take to get a decent co-anchor

Isn't Adil Ray meant to have been alright when he's co-anchored?

They all want to do the Morgan angry man routine though.

I see Odeon haven't missed a beat in cranking their prices back up. Both the ones near me were £6.50 in the Before Times, the cheeky banana splits.

Yeah, we only used to pay a fiver to go to the Odeon near us but I nearly had to donate a strawberry floating kidney to watch Peter Rabbit 2 with the kids the other week

They're both £8. Trafford Centre used to be £12 until they realised no strawberry floater was going, then they knocked it down to match the AMC they bought out in town, which has been £6.50 for as long as I can remember.

There's a Vue about 5 minutes walk away from the Odeon in town that's only a fiver, but they extended my limitless card into next February so I may as well use it.

The kicker is, even with that card, the upsell means it would cost exactly the same for me and the wife to see a film in IMAX at either cinema.

I saw a woman stocking up her trolley with Sacla pasta sauces in Sainsbos today, so I decided to take a look at them on the shelf myself. With the exception of 1 or 2 which contain more complex ingredients (Nduja), what a strawberry floating waste of money these are. They're £2.50 each, and yet can't contain any more than 50 pence worth of ingredients. They must be laughing their tits off in Italy.

Sacla' Whole Cherry Tomato & Basil Sauce 350g

Tomatoes (Diced Tomato, Tomato Purée, Tomato Juice) - a can of chopped tomoatoes, in other words.
Whole Cherry Tomatoes (16%) - what's that equate to per jar, 4?
Soffritto (Onion, Carrots, Garlic, Celery, Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Sunflower Seed Oil
Basil (1.2%)
Salt
Cornflour

Even if you went full on Organic, no more than a quid. If you're buying these, explain yourself! Where's Greg(g)s Wallace.

I went to the new Everyman the other day. It's more expensive but you definitely get what you pay for in this case.

People are scared of cooking a lot of the time, they didn't learn from parents or school so dont know what to do.

Its easy to learn sure, but if they get it wrong it is a waste of money and time and then they need to get something else so its easier to just not.

People also seem to assume it takes ages to do stuff and "dont ahve time", they see a cook time of 60 minutes and go "I've not got an hour to stand about cooking".

Getting people cooking for themselves is a hard ass task, if you try and make it too simple people call you patronising (Jamie Oliver) and if you go too hard people run scared (also Jaime for the books like Italy that cause pissed off people to shout about the price of some of the recipes).

There is deffo a gap though in the cook book, celeb chef, get people cooking thing for recipes that group well, you see recipes that say "only £2 per person" but in reality you need bigger packs or things or whatever as you are only used a tsp of this, a tbsp of that, so really it costs more and you are left with a load of crap you aren't going to use. It would be good to see something that gives a bucnh of reciepes that give 3 or 5 dinners that use all the ingredients you need without waste. The 7 Ways book by Jamie Oliver did some of this but not enough.
