Another example of the supermarket ''offer'' con which is common practice here. I came across my old stainless steel tea pot brought from the UK so decided to buy some loose tea in Vea. Although the Taragui brand is the only loose tea I ever see in any supermarket here it's pretty decent stuff.
So while we were doing the weekly shop in Vea a couple of weeks ago I grabbed a couple of packets of it for 2800 each. Last week when we were in I looked again and saw it had gone up in price to 3400 per packet. Just been on their website and saw this offer on it. Could be wrong but I believe in the UK offer prices can only qualify as being an offer if the higher price has been in force for a certain period of time. Which is months rather than just days. Consumer protection laws are very strict about such things and penalise companies who break the rules. Here they seem to change prices on a weekly basis to make offers look far better than they really are.
Exactly.....
Prices rise to make offers look better.
All the big chains do specials on wine and beer every weekend . Anything between 30% and 50%off.
But if you look at the regular prices in the Chinos, they are very close to the net price of the big chains

Rumour is the back benchers of the Labour party will use this as an excuse to see if they cAn get rid of him
-
So the PM is responsable for the behaviour of all party members?
Who made Mandelson a Lord? Gordon Brown?
Apparently Starmer appointed him Ambassador to the USA.
Potential problems for Starmer from his own back benchers, more tha the other parties.
I’m sorry for appointing Mandelson and believing his Epstein lies, Starmer says

Poured down here for about 30 mins around 07.30am . Since then cloudy, dark and dismal.
Still a nice 22c to keep us cool.

Best birthday wishes, serafina !!!

The rain here just started about 40 miunutes ago - lots of thunder in the interim but no rain.
When it finally started we got ten minutes of decent rain since then a wee drizzle.
The temperature is a pleasant 21c

Today's covers a massive area compared to yesterday's storm. We were supposed to be going to the countryside this afternoon. As they only forecast 1mm of rain I thought it would be no problem. However with 8mm so far and no sign of a let up I very much doubt we'll be going now as the road out will be a ruddy disaster.
A ruddy disaster or a muddy disaster?
-
Its is very dark here . Rain is bound to fall soon.
They seem to be getting the forcasts totally wrong the past couple of days.
-
We got about twenty minutes of moderate rain. Lots of thunder. But it seems to have passed over ...
