I'm considering selling my body for a bit of extra cash but the 2m social distancing is an issue. I'm not called "Big J" for nothing, but even I have my limits. ?

Get out of it, we dont do pounds, shillings and pence any more !!!!!

Just bought 3 hens.
They will eat plants/grass/grain and kitchen waste.
Hopefully producing eggs.
Planting loads of salads and veg.
It's either that piracy [emoji572]️

Ok this was posted on a tech forum i moderate on a couple of days ago 

 

I was in Booker's cash and carry today which is trade only. There were no eggs, bread, nappies, hand sanitizer, milk etc because they had all been bought by non English speaking convenience store shopkeepers. The warehouse opened at 6.am but the shopkeepers were queuing at 5.15 am to buy all of those. A carton of six eggs trade price is 65p with £1.00 marked on the box, which gives a profit of 35p per carton. The shopkeepers were selling the eggs for £4.50 per carton which is a profit of £3.85
All the other products were similarly marked up with hand sanitizer at £9.00!!

One of the corner shops customers called the councils trading standards to complain about profiteering. An officer went to speak to one of the shopkeepers who said Boo

 

So i replied to the member and a good tip for the lads (Saul)

I got 6 chickens which cost me £8 each to buy so 6 eggs and i am in profit by £1, Fook better get another dozen chooks laying ? 18 eggs a day is £27 x 7 days = £189 a week

Think you got your eggs and sanitiser confused, unless your going to sell your eggs for £9 for six! Golden eggs!
