Heinz profiteers

I have noticed the massive increase in prices of Heinz soup. Now the Metro has also noticed.




This story is about Tesco but the price increases are a problem for every family. The increase in the cost of living is a disgrace. The increase in the cost of Heinz products is profiteering pure and simple.

A Proverb Quiz

The good news is that all my quizzes are going to be published this year in "The Evil Quizmaster"
Amazon are funny (in fact they are hilarious) about anything in a book being published on a blog so I have removed any quizzes which will be in the upcoming book from this blog. The one which remains will not be in the book.

Off with their heads!

Newspapers in Sussex have suggested it would be a good idea if the people of Sussex could choose who is the Duke of Sussex but why stop there?

The people of Great Britain most certainly did not choose the King. I did not vote for Charles. Who would?

Abolition of the monarchy would save a fortune and the money could go to the NHS.

Buckingham Palace could become council housing.

George III was an insane monarch. He talked to his plants and on one occasion he "spoke complete and utter nonsense for 58 hours straight". Ring any bells?

A right royal carry-on

OMG. I can't pick up a paper or watch a news progamme without getting far too much information about the right royal farce. 

The only thing missing is for Harry to imitate Kenneth Williams, "Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!"

The Royal family carry-on is being used as a diversion from the cost of living. Lets face it the cost of living does not bother any of them. They keep their royal snouts in the trough all right.
