If you think you're roughing it, you've clearly never lived in Winchester and earned minimum wageBubbaJeff said:SNOB!SonicWaffle said:Totton? TOTTON?! That isn't a real place!BubbaJeff said:There's an offy on the main road in Totton with an adjacent sweet shop owned by the same peeps. I can't remember what it's called, but its definately got the 'DewSonicWaffle said:That sounds more like one of those speciality imported sweet shops. Is there one in Southampton now? Whereabouts?BubbaJeff said:Woot, Sarfampton. I think i know where you're thinking of, and they do a load of US imports (like Mountain Dew, but also things like Lucky Charms, Nerdz etc) so i don't think that really counts - they put a massive markup on it, a box of Lucky Charms'll set you back about 13 quid if i remember rightly.SonicWaffle said:Whereabouts do you live? The last time I saw Mountain Dew was in Southampton, a few crates of it stacked on the shelf of an offie.
The place I saw them was an off-licence in Bedford Place, it might have been Champagne Charley's, but then again it might not.![]()
I live in Winchester these days anyway, and rarely even make it to Southampton proper. I don't have the time for tramping around the extremities ;-)Perhaps learning to rough it again with us peasants living outside Winchester might be a valuable life affirming exercise lol
Everything here is so expensive; food, rent, council tax, everything. Even the pubs are pricier. I'd have a much more comfortable life back in Southampton, but unfortunately that aint where the job is, and paying a fiver a day for train fire would destroy my paycheck...
