What can you get for 30p these days...



An ounce of Pork Scratchings?

In the time it takes to read this, and if you wanted to be more circumspect, you would also get 30p of expenses, or perks, or even porks, if you were Mr and Mrs Ed Balls.

Also, the good people of Haringey (who pay that is), are giving the failed Baby P's tormentors the same amount.

    Scrobs - you could get around 35 eurocents (to put in your Xmas pudding?)

    Thanks Pips, what I like about you is that you're fighting 'em all the way!

    As Trubes said, 'The hills are alive ...or was it little Goatherd'... ;0)

    Reevers - sobering that.

    Brown's number crunchers all kept very quiet about this financial meltdown. He knew all along, and they prepared his strategy of 'saviour', right from day one.

    What makes me hopeful is that when he is kicked out, he'll have to think of himself like Churchill did - but without the courage. And his wilderness will be permanent.

    For 30p you can get your car towed away (it costs 80p to park in our little town center and four years ago it was "free").

    You can't even get a Mars Bar for that.
