    What do you consider to be a complete and utter waste of money? I'll start the bidding with wedding dresses.

    Not really. I don't buy sugary drinks when I'm thirsty and not near my job/home/pub. Water is always good for thirst.

    I resent paying as much as I do for some things. Paid 2.50 for a cup of tea the other day, scandalous!

    Also, contraception, sure the government will look after that :D

    I suppose cinema and TV's are a slight waste of money with the internet being so handy...

    ..in that case you could also rule out books and newspapers

    Cinemas.. astronomical waste of money to, stand in a queue while my cornetto melts, eat popcorn thats pointless without butter, spend god knows how much on a bottle of water when the lidl does them for 49 cent, and finally, get your chair kicked continuously by lil idiots...
