You're right. I try to. Sometimes I got to the big Waitrose down in Jumeirah / US.
;) The world's coldest supermarket? You should call in for coffee. If you keep paying those prices you won't be able to afford to buy it yourself! |

Re: Inflation
the other day I brought a small box of cherries from Spinneys..frigging AED 55 dirhams...If I was living back home I would never spend over a tenner for cherries:ohmy:
things are definitely getting expensive. I use to pay apprx AED 70 from the airport to the marina/jlt...last week when I got back from the UK I paid AED 110...I asked the taxi driver why so much and he said they had been told to increase the fares :thumbdown: |

Re: Inflation
Iggles is PinkMinnow's alter ego. PinkMinnow's repressed sexuality and abhorrence of the naked male form comes out in Iggle's imagined straight relationship with Oksana, but lived out in reverse reality with Vlad and Boris.
Sometimes I wish I didn't have an imaginative intellect. :sick: |
