Will you be buying a tin of Quality Street this Christmas?Still love QS, the taste and the reminder of childhood when my Mum always bought a large tin - God Bless you Mum. Things change, raw materials and cost of manufacturing go up, so manufacturers have to adjust - A better comparison would be how much was a quarter pound in the 1950's and 60's (Yes NO grammes then!) and the cost of a similar quantity now - Adjusted with the index between then and now. A loaf of bread was probably 10p in the 50's and we are not complaining about that. Wages and pensions have gone up (to some extent!) hopefully to compensate and I hope QS are still employing people in the UK to manufacture If you enjoy them, buy them and find the best supermarket price you can - Two tubs for a £5 or £6 at TESCO at present! I have never worked for QS or Tesco! Have a lovely ChristmasViewDate:

How will you spend your private pension lump sum?A Mixture - It will become "rainy day" money - some invested for future use - A dream holiday to Canada (hopefully) - some home updates and in a year or two an updated car.ViewDate:

Win a pair of tickets to Royal Windsor Horse ShowLiving locally I normally pay for these tickets - It would be nice to win some! Great Show especially when the sun shines - doesn't always!
