I thought you lot lived on fish heads and neeps ?
Yes, but not fish skin. The heads are peeled.
Ah, I used to love the skin on fish.
But weighing it before is f**king wrong. Maybe you should weigh all your veg and deduct all their skins to get your money back? May go aroud and deducting all the boxes and packaging on food?

Good idea but we'd have to do it en masse all round the country so it would make an impact.
Journalists who don't know shit. In this case ABC Nightline reporters JAKE WHITMAN and LAUREN EFFRON:

They write that "J.K. Rowling ... the woman who built an empire using made-up words such as, "codswallop" ...".
Dolts.
It's doubly stupid, because all words were made-up at some point.
Have to admire the cheek of the septics for accusing us of making words up.

Would that codswallop be the skinned or unskinned version?

Then he weighs it BEFORE cutting the skin off. Do these mean profiteering bastard Morrisons not realise we do not eat fish skin in Scotland?
Effectively weighing the scales.......That level of profiteering is off the scales.......
It really winds me up when a Member Of The Public appears on TV or radio and finds it impossible to simply answer questions "Yes" or "No".
It's all "I am indeed." and "That is correct."
What's all that about, hmm? Do they get advised by the pre-interviewers not to give monosyllabic answers?
I'm not sure.
Unexpected bills. Especially ones that you can't work out exactly what they are for.

When I was pregnant I ate loads of whole sprats, fried until crispy then ate the lot. Makes me to think of it now.
I know someone who rubs dirt off spuds, takes the tops of carrots,the stalks off broccoli etc. and tries things like grapes before buying.
