    This is just a guess, but... you stil went ahead and bought it, right?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Ice Cream needs to be heavily taxed with a view to eventually introducing an outright ban.

    Stuck in my van in that heat all day..... Jaysus what I wouldn't have paid for a strawberry cornetto.

    €2 would've sounded reasonable enough to me at around 4.30pm there today. :mad:

    If people are willing to pay for things at higher prices, then they are only happy to sell them to you.

    I would sort of expect to pay that much for a cornetto? At least over €1.50 anyway

    Cornetto's have halved in size in the last few years. They used to be the size of a 99, now their the size of a screwball. :(
