Hopefully not an SIAL, this made me genuinely chuckle. How many are true I don't know, but a great pisstake all the same.

I believe there's a less popular page for the normal supermarkets too.

We don't have posh Waitrose in about 20 miles radius of our vicinity. It must mean that our area and its surrounding are not populated with posh people. We do have Marks and Spa but then it must mean that we have more OAPs living around here.

Oh, well. Tesco and even cheaper Aldi and LIDL sort us out with their wide open sacks of pistachios and almonds, in which everyone sticks their scoop in. I bet some even stick their hand in, for a treasure hunt.

No, real person alert is you, actually.

I bet more than half of Scoobynet goes to Aldi and LIDL, and drives a banga. Just because they come and boolshyt here about being rich and driving their posh cars on finance don't make them rich.

Ok, we understand that at least you have your Facebook abstinence to make you feel holier than the usual Facebook indulged chitter-chatters.

Some people!

That's good.

I, too, eat extremely well with the courtesy of Aldi and LIDL.

What's wrong with a "financed whip" ?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but there's something wrong in pretending that one is rich and posh, when one is not- if you get what I'm saying.

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with being rich either, if you get what I'm saying.

Its the lies and bragging on the internet that gets to my eyeballs. That's all.

Unfortunately that is the nature of the internet!

People are asshats in general but act like real turds online because they are at distance from the audience and often feel compelled to bash a reply out before considering a more thoughtful response.

Cool! I'm on an all nighter tonight. One of my lion cubs is in, but one has sneaked out. I must let her in when I go down to make a cuppa again.
