Boris' speech
Far too many pipe dreams and schemes that are even likely to get off the ground or bear fruit but tell me - who the hell is going to pay for it?
Too much of the usual bluff & bluster but I think he has reached the point that he has to deliver on EVERYTHING he has promised up till now and beyond or he's going to get a real kicking both nationally and locally.

Gary Lineker signs £1.2m deal to remain face of Walkers Crisps I think he should take a BBC pay cut if he being paid this.....he can afford it or face giving up getting fat on crisps

They are petrol station tycoons and after seeing the prices they charge expect ASDA's to start rising.

Do you know what?
I went into Asda yesterday and their wholemeal loaf price had gone down from 55p to 49p. I was flabbergasted.
Promptly bought three loaves.
Any more and it may have looked like a panic buyers convention had started

Asda bread aint bad i get the 50/50 stuff lasts longer past best before date before goes mouldy

Asda bread is very good.
Asda oven chips are quite good too as are their fish fillets.
Other supermarkets are available

yeah a lot of there stuff is good

there delivery service is good most of the time couple of times left me with no bread but still

and accidently got 2 cartons of milk instead of 1 this week so that was a result

Lorraine Kelly's alright by me.

Lorraine Kelly has an annoying Scottish accent. Susana Reid is where it's all at. Too bad she sits next to a lard arse that ruins my appetite each morning.

What I would like to see is one of the babes on these shows get some honours. If footballers can get honours, so should babes.
