Pound Shop Depth in the EU


Bag of sugar @ Pound Shop = £1
Jar of mayonnaise @ Pound Shop = £1

Bag of sugar @ Lidl = £0.42
Jar of mayonnaise @ Lidl = £0.75

Enough said!

The Sunday Times is reporting that it will take a long time to find the Egypt Air black box, as it's over 2 miles down. A cursory glance at any chart of the Eastern Med will show the depth there is around 1,000m, and 1,500m at the most. So much for accurate reporting.

Here's an idea - replace those interminable and dreary X-Factor type shows with debates on the EU. Now that would attract an audience, as everyone has a view, and quite rightly so.

It's the same with charity shops where we live, the stuff is often dearer than buying new.

Ah, but it goes to a good cause.

South of Crete (where they are reportedly searching) is the Hellenic Trench which has depths >5000 metres.

But not where the circle on the map was - I checked.
