More Product Shrinkage...

I noticed that in our local supermarkets the contents of 200gms Philadelphia Cheese has been reduced to 180gms. No corresponding reduction in price though. Do they think no-one will notice?

Souped-Up Hearse?

Although today I only caught occasional glimpses on TV of the hearse carrying Thatcher's remains, it appeared to me to have been fitted with low profile tyres. Anyone notice if it really was?
