Morrisons have raised the price of their Value Salted Tortillas (taste just as nice as premium ones) from about 45p to 70p. That's like a 100% price rise or something. How am I supposed to afford to eat now?
Wrong thread. You need the 'Poor Pistonheaders and their developing world-like struggles'
My Le Creuset kettle had started "de-enamelling" & leaving little black bits in hot drinks. While I was waiting for Le Creuset to send a replacement, I had to resort to boiling water in the Neff microwave.
I can now empathise with the shanty town dwellers in places like Africa.
I was going to write a stern letter of complaint - the kettle is only 3 years old, but instead I dropped them an email to say thank you for the replacement.

I'm in Jersey this week (used to live here, moved back to the UK but back for a week of work).
Problem 1
There is no 4G in Jersey and the 3G is pretty slow in St Helier (214ms ping and 1.7MB/s)
Problem 2
My hotel doesn’t allow Netflix access to save bandwidth. As such, I haven't been able to watch the pilot of "Better Call Saul," yet.
However will I cope...

It is spelt "Meile", you fool.
Not sure how I'd boil water in the vacuum cleaner though - I'll mention it to the OH.

Don't you have a boiling water tap? You poor thing, think of all that time your wasting........
I have four problems in one.
We've rented a chalet for the ski season in the Alps but the chap we rented from already had bookings for the two half term weeks when we took it on meaning we had to give it back for those weeks. Thinking it was for 7-21 feb we packed up and came home last Saturday to find that his bookings were in fact for 14-28 and I was mistaken. I've now had to pay to rent another place for 21-28 Feb as we have friends joining us that week who already have flights, etc booked.
That week is still half term in Fance and there are absolutely no ski in/out places available in the resort for which we have a season pass at such short notice. We couldn't find a chalet so we've had to rent an apartment which is really just another name for a flat, how very council!
The week is ruined, I'm only going for the benefit of my friends. I suppose I'll have to hit the slopes early and stay out all day, then straight to the bar afterwards to drown my misery. FML.

Ones residence requires a new roof.
Although every time I think about actually doing it the bloody car seems to have appreciated again !

I missed the opportunity to take my mobile telephone provider up on thier offer to upgrade early so will have to make do with my iPhone 5s for the foreseeable future. Any tips on how to maintain your standard of life when you know that you could have had an iPhone 6+ but missed it?
I am not even picking up a "15" plate motor vehicle tomorrow so y'know, how common must I look?

d, etcMy new Audi 2WD Avant commuting car was delivered to the dealer yesterday, which also happened to be my birthday, ready for me to pick up on the Sunday with a new 15 plate. I was called late yesterday to say that due to a mix up the interior was not the colour I ordered. I visited the dealer this afternoon ready to tear them a new one but was placated when they offered me an upgraded Quattro version in the colour combination I wanted for the same price. Still not happy as I now will now not be able to pick it up until mid week
