"The Jar" is looking pretty full these days. The notes are long gone on takeaways, the gold and multifaceted coins have been pillaged for emergency pints of milk and bus ticket. The shop the other day rounded up the change to the nearest pound so I didn't even get a handfull of shrap for the jar.

I don't do C&H from the rough end of the market

Binners G-string Is busy dealing with 10k of fiddys.

TJ has cleared out Armstrong's of smoking jackets.

Titanium and carbon would amount to a broken spork with a burnt sausage on the end (if someone lends me a sausage)

Interest rates suck the hairies.

Considering a clay pot under the hearth so a future archaeologist gets a nice surprise (followed by considerable disappointment).

What cheap fun or excellent investments can I make with the sum total of savings?

7 £1 bets on all the second favourites at a horse race meet, with the random 53p going on a third favourite at the best price.

In one of those grey on the outside black on the inside delivery bags that delivered something cheap and forgettable, in the desk drawer. That's where.

Well, I laughed.

Pro tip, the self-service tills also take change and don't skim a 10% cut.

I find that me daughter will "invest" it in some shit or other then tell me about it (months) afterwards.

I have £8 to my name until payday and I'm not telling her where it is.

Maybe see what that gets you in terms of a CV brush-up on fiverr?

This might actually work.

My G-String days are behind me, but the Spanx I'm sporting at the moment underneath my sarong would definitely hold that much copper

Is that seven pounds 53 in your pocket or are you pleased to see me?

Save the £'s for the pool table at the caravan site pub, and the 2p's for the 2p penny falls machines.

Three bottles of Hoppo IPA and I'm sure i saw chili heatwave Doritos on sale for 1.50 so that would do me.

I'm pretty sure the issue there is the Met has no idea where their loose coppers are putting themselves.

Chicken meat and chips with chilli and mayo,

I'm quite alarmed you'd eat something whereby that needed to be qualified.

I've just had a look and, as I suspected, you've enough for a normal size donner kebab (£6.99) at my favourite local takeaway place, but you're unfortunately 46p short for a large donner.

To be fair the large ones are absolutely massive and only to be purchased if you've not eaten all day or you're planning on it being your breakfast tomorrow too. Thats the breakfast of champions obviously

If you're interested I could pop down and they can have a rummage around in my Spanx

£7.53 would buy a pint and a snack of some sort around here, or my local kebab supplier would provide a regular doner with all the trimmings for £6.50. I don’t often have any loose change to be able to buy a kebab after the pub, sadly, and they don’t do cards. <br />The nearest chippy only takes cash, and £7.53 might get me chips and a fish cake, maybe two. Cod and chips won’t get me much change out of a tenner these days! *sigh*.

In my local purveyor of high quality post-libation snacks, one must differentiate between chicken and lamb in one’s tray of high-fat, high-calorie, low nutritional value sustenance.

Mrs Sandwich suddenly perked up! If they make the list expect either the price of kebabs to go up or the shop to close.

I don't know why, they almost certainly don't.

You've misunderstood. It's not the word " chicken" that he's querying... it's the " meat" bit

it’s the ” meat” bit

It maybe doesn't help that my definition of "meat" is a bit broad, I'd class all the stuff I suspect deliberately goes into chicken nuggets as meat for instance. Though I suppose the fsa do too.

The more coincidental stuff like feathers and beaks and things are a sufficiently low percentage as to mean the mush still qualifies without, question or clarification [hesitation or deviation], as meat

For something to not be meat it would need to either deliberately try, and vegan fake meat is not at the £7.53 for a fortnight's food end of the economy or It would need to contain a majority of stuff you wouldn't put in nuggets or sausages. It would essentially be what you're left with after you've made those things.

I'm under no illusion as to what's left after you "mechanically reclaim" stuff for sausages or simply pour whole chickens into a grinder for nuggets because plucking etc is pointless given the % by mass of feathers and claws vs "meat". You're left with the stuff the chickens and pigs etc left on the floor and that has less market value as fertiliser.
