I know I shouldn't compare but......
I had to go and get a tub of white pepper today as my lad doesn't care for the black pepper grindy thing.
Last time I bought some it was a few pence.
79 pence !!

That was a bit of a shock. Strange how things catch you out.

That's it exactly, it has been such a long time since I needed any. In fact I think that's the first one I have bought in maybe 10/12 years.
Depends on how far you want to go back, over centuries many ways were used - my Grandmother told me they grated soap from a big green block of household soap to wash up with.
