Ooooh - tiffin! Have you tried the Co-Op Belgian chocolate coated tiffin? It is fabulous! Will have to look out for the GU stuff so I can compare.
Many years ago before my mother persuaded me to be "sensible" and get a " proper" job, Friday nights after digging all day had two variations...
a) Start at the pub where it was 10p a pint (we are going back to the 80s here by the way but I am sure it was all from the spill tray...) and after spending a quid, we'd get the Metro into Newcastle and go up market...three shots for ?5! And a kebab to finish. Best ?10 I've ever spent!
or
b) A packet of Golden Virginia and papers. A bottle of Martini for 99p and a large box of Maltesers. Have a VERY hot bath while drinking neat Martini then stagger off to a party...
Those were the days. All I have now is a packet of Doritos and a bottle of Chardonnay. Cost me ?5.50 so inflation not too bad I suppose!! Any takers?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
