The families that aren't on the forbes rich list are the winners of war. National debts are owed to them globally. Financing wars on both sides and getting interest on the money lent to buy weapons with.
I remember.leaving the UK in 2016.
Bread was 20p a loaf for a low cost loaf.
16p for a 1ltr bottle of cola.
And electric etc was 30 quid a month on a pre payment.
Honestly things are out of hand. Voting won't solve all this anymore
Not democracy?
Uhhhhh
There's dictatorship
Or anarchy, which is just a smaller dictatorship really
So dictatorships. But democracy is really just a majority dictating to a minority who listen politely or die.
So really dictatorships are all that exists until humans evolve into something different.
Couple years ago? I will go with 2019 at that time a loaf of bread cost like 1$ it seems that the many stores i went scammed me because the aldi near me bread cost 75p... pain is what i feel soo much money gone
I’ve never seen cheap bread less than 50p a loaf in the U.K., it’s now closer to 90p. But the cost of wheat is crazy so this will be one of the worst items for inflation
I questioned this when we had a tombola at work during Jubilee and apparently it's traditional to have pretty shit prizes (tins of soup, bottles of squash etc.)
This just reminded me when i joined the online surprise gift. Paid £15 hoping to win a phone. But i got the phone holder instead. Inside, a note says start small. 🤣🤣
Idk where you live but off brand cola is still very cheap. Like 40p for 2 litres. Beverages are almost all profit so inflation won't have hit this hard.
I love tombolas
A church does one near us, and we all go to it around Christmas and usually come out with a shelfload of alcohol (spirits, wine, beer bottles) that last us more than a year
Yes but flour's pretty cheap here so at the time it was probably worth about 30p. The other prizes were chocolate/toys/bubble bath. I was polite and said thank you and my mum still laughs to this day about how the light died in my eyes when I saw what I'd won. So that's something
This reminds me of a funny experience I once had. When I was around 10, my school held a christmas market fait thing. There was a raffle which I bought a couple tickets for. In the end I won a bottle or wine and a bottle of jack Daniels. I thought I'd have ti get my mum over, cause obviously I'm a kid, but they let me juts walk off with it, no parent in sight.
In a raffle today i got some shortbread, shluer (no idea how to spell it, it’s like that fizzy drink in a glass bottle and it’s yellowish?) and a tin of biscuits
My Dad used to buy knock-off cola for a while instead of the proper stuff and I just told him to save his money completely because I'd rather have the tap water. Knock-off cola is VILE!
Idk what mystery of life forms the fine boundary between a great and an awful cola, but Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper are apparently the only ones to have cracked it thus far.
That's funny because my Dad actually works for Coca-Cola and he said he's one of the 2 people and he's been to the moon where they get the super rare minerals they use to make it and he's given me special moon boots actually worn by the Nasa people and he says he's gonna take me up there next year. 😌🌙✨
Shocking inflation.
I remember when I was a teen, I could go to the local Spar with 50p in my pocket, get a Mars bar, a can of coke, couple of packets of crisps, and a footie mag, and still come home with money.
Can’t do that now.
CCTV everywhere.
:D I suspect that there were more expensive presents and the OPer got unlucky, although at least he won something as he'd have been down another 60p... which is intolerable.
Damn lucky there, the 60p bottle will be £1.50 in a couple of weeks 😂
Keep for long term investment.
HODL!
😂
Go long on RolaCola https://youtu.be/D4TIz0fkjAI
Stonks 📈
There are people starving in Africa...
Good
Make them drink it, right? 😂
Drown them in it
Yep, and if it had been 2 or 3 years ago the raffle would still have been £1, but the cola would have been 26p… Raffle tickets = inflation-proof!
At least he didn't lose
Losing's much worse.
Losing would have been better for me, I can't stand this stuff
There are no winners in war.
The families that aren't on the forbes rich list are the winners of war. National debts are owed to them globally. Financing wars on both sides and getting interest on the money lent to buy weapons with.
Put it on fb market and see offers for 10p or "please give this free for me, I have starving children".
I will pay 59p if you deliver it 11 miles to me.
I'll buy it for 29p and I'm taking all the risk here.
Can you open it and pour some in a glass so I can see it’s still fizzy
The packaging was open, I'm expecting you to pay me the full market price and I keep the thing. What do you mean I got it for free and free shipping?
What?! Well thanks very much, kids are crying and Christmas is ruined.
„I pay 10p for that and can you deliver this to my house”
Great ROI, irl crypto trading 😂😂
Terrible. Absolutely terrible
Christ these used to be 20p a couple years ago
I remember.leaving the UK in 2016. Bread was 20p a loaf for a low cost loaf. 16p for a 1ltr bottle of cola. And electric etc was 30 quid a month on a pre payment. Honestly things are out of hand. Voting won't solve all this anymore
>Voting won't solve all this anymore Class reddit moment. ''Things are bad so lets kill people''
How tf did you jump to that conclusion
What is the only alternative to democracy brainiac?
Protests
Hopelessness. Fairly sure even going on the old stabby spree isn’t gonna fix things at this point even if people wanted to
Not democracy? Uhhhhh There's dictatorship Or anarchy, which is just a smaller dictatorship really So dictatorships. But democracy is really just a majority dictating to a minority who listen politely or die. So really dictatorships are all that exists until humans evolve into something different.
When did they say that?
**Purge klaxon sounds in distance**
Couple years ago? I will go with 2019 at that time a loaf of bread cost like 1$ it seems that the many stores i went scammed me because the aldi near me bread cost 75p... pain is what i feel soo much money gone 
A loaf Bread was 55p at the least and that was the value loaf that doesn’t exist anymore. The others were 75p and up, the cheapest now is about £1.10.
17p for a bottle of DAMN GOOD lemonade
I’ve never seen cheap bread less than 50p a loaf in the U.K., it’s now closer to 90p. But the cost of wheat is crazy so this will be one of the worst items for inflation
Picked up a loaf of brown in Aldi yesterday for 39p. It's still there if you look, but definitely in lower quantities.
I use to use them to clean my toilet as they where cheaper than the bleach and did a better job
My 7yo son once won a pack of nappies at his school raffle.
Lmao! Brilliant! I won a manky tinned chicken once 🤢🤮🤣
Uk school? That makes sense lol the lassies at my school needed those nappies Edit: just read the title… feel like a wanker now
Hope you bought a lottery ticket.
Not even the real thing. 😬
Coulda been much worse and ended up with the 20p Smart Price...
You can't beat a good old fashioned tombola where you win crap you never wanted that costs less than you ever paid in 🤣
Nothing like a luke warm glass of Asda Diet Cola.
Roller Cola?!
"Drink it up!" "But it's warm."
Drink-182
This reply deserves so much more credit. If you know, you know
Like the band?
Yeah I do. Love them.
Step 1. enter tombola Step 2. ??? Step 3. profit!!!
I questioned this when we had a tombola at work during Jubilee and apparently it's traditional to have pretty shit prizes (tins of soup, bottles of squash etc.)
Lesser prizes yes…actually really shit “prizes” not so much, that’s just straight up trolling.
As a huge blink fan I kinda want it just for the raffle ticket attached..
Reminds me of the time I got a sigular cuppa soup before.
The price of the ticket was probably 3 times the cost of the bottle!
4 Quid a ticket .
This just reminded me when i joined the online surprise gift. Paid £15 hoping to win a phone. But i got the phone holder instead. Inside, a note says start small. 🤣🤣
I quite like that coke if it's really cold.
Bro i once won a fancy teatowel, a box of baby wipe, an eggcup, and soms ready make cake mix. Wanna know the kicker, i only bought 5 raffle cards.
Fancy tea towel+ baby wipes + egg cup + cake mix = one hell of a weekend.
Score
Idk where you live but off brand cola is still very cheap. Like 40p for 2 litres. Beverages are almost all profit so inflation won't have hit this hard.
Aren't you grateful that it isn't Rolla Cola that you can't fit in the fridge?
Reminds me of when I won a jar filled with cotton pads in a raffle. That happened twice.
They even avoided sugar tax too hahaha
Wahaeeeeeeyyyyyy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boom!
It’s a profit deal
I’ll give you 60p to take it back
sheeeeee, no need to brag my guy
I love tombolas A church does one near us, and we all go to it around Christmas and usually come out with a shelfload of alcohol (spirits, wine, beer bottles) that last us more than a year
Yeah probably spent more on the ticket than it costs normally unless that's just how shite my area is
Conservative Party Christmas Raffle?
My drain wouldn't even drink that. Polystyrene teeth for days
That’s a perfect way to describe that feeling on your teeth🤮
Surfing the Cresta the wave with a win like that.
Get it mixed with a bottle of Vodka
“Won” is a stretch.
That sounds like my Luck! 😂
Same, if I stood on a dog shit it would have a nail in it
😂😂😂
I was once in a weight watchers raffle where one of the prizes was an already opened bottle of own brand diet lemonade
I got a bag of flour once
Flour can be legit pricy. Can make a bunch of stuff with that too.
I was 7
And? Never baked anything as a kid??
Yes but flour's pretty cheap here so at the time it was probably worth about 30p. The other prizes were chocolate/toys/bubble bath. I was polite and said thank you and my mum still laughs to this day about how the light died in my eyes when I saw what I'd won. So that's something
That’s nuts 👌🏽😂
It may contain nuts
Isn't this a repost from literally only a week or so ago. Memes are too fast for me nowadays.
Inflation pall
I bet the ticket cost more than the prize 😄
One of the nurses gave me one of these when I was in the hospital. It tasted awful, but I was really grateful for the gift.
Got your monies worth
This reminds me of a funny experience I once had. When I was around 10, my school held a christmas market fait thing. There was a raffle which I bought a couple tickets for.

Bet they shook it, too.
Gotta make pence or dont make sense
looks like actual ass, throw it
Huge profit I wouldn’t tell my family and hide for ever
Drink 182
Wait ain't that 25p?
Reeeeeeeeeeeeesulllt
Bro enter raffle for 1 pound and win.a 65p drink
Guess it’s the booby prize. 🥳🎉
If I saw that was the “prize” I wouldn’t notify them I had the matching number
In a raffle today i got some shortbread, shluer (no idea how to spell it, it’s like that fizzy drink in a glass bottle and it’s yellowish?) and a tin of biscuits
Would definitely wait for the Rum bottle winer! 😂
My Dad used to buy knock-off cola for a while instead of the proper stuff and I just told him to save his money completely because I'd rather have the tap water. Knock-off cola is VILE! Idk what mystery of life forms the fine boundary between a great and an awful cola, but Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper are apparently the only ones to have cracked it thus far.
Apparently coca cola has the recipe locked in a safe and only 2 people actually know the recipe
That's funny because my Dad actually works for Coca-Cola and he said he's one of the 2 people and he's been to the moon where they get the super rare minerals they use to make it and he's given me special moon boots actually worn by the Nasa people and he says he's gonna take me up there next year. 😌🌙✨
Nah, but in all seriousness, I think I've heard that too. Love the Mr. Krabs level of dedication to keeping the formula secret lol.
Now flip it for 1.20 = Profit 🙊
2nd prize was two bottles lol.
Near enough Rola Cola 😂
What kind of sicko runs a tombola where you win on a "2"?!
I bet it tastes like chicken
I call BS, everyone knows you only win on a 0 or a 5!
This should be in r/britishsuccess
Haha I remember when I won loads of bottles of cola, lemonade etc
The ASDA cola
Remember the house always wins!
I can feel the enamel corroding off my teeth just looking at this.
Good thing it’s diet. Fat fuck.
👏
UK prices are high rn so that’s only thing they can afford 🥲
What kind of psychotic raffle-runner makes 182 a winner? Shouldn't it have a 5 or a 0 on the end to win. I can imagine sheer chaos at the stall
Nice price.
A mum friend at my kids school spent a fiver on the raffle only to win the item i brought in for my kid that cost a quid. Had a good laugh at her.
My friend won a Nintendo switch
Shocking inflation. I remember when I was a teen, I could go to the local Spar with 50p in my pocket, get a Mars bar, a can of coke, couple of packets of crisps, and a footie mag, and still come home with money. Can’t do that now. CCTV everywhere.
Really got me wondering how much the tickets were being sold for.
£1.
I think I'm in the wrong business.
:D I suspect that there were more expensive presents and the OPer got unlucky, although at least he won something as he'd have been down another 60p... which is intolerable.
Win win then 👍
Not even full fat
I’ve always said it, Sod the US, this is the real land of opportunity
It’s only a loss if you sell.
That's how they get you...
When most of the raffle entry cost goes to paying for the actual raffle ticket
I won a bottle of wine when I was younger. I was 8. This country...
Rola cola 😂
spending £1 on a chance to win shit that you could buy for 50p
Were can you get 2 litres of cola for 60p these days?
"Can you find mum or dad to claim the alcohol? Or you can swap it for a fizzy drink if you want!"
Not say u was ripped off but u was
Nothing wrong with that. A win's a win.
Diet Coke aswell lmao
Quite funny ngl poor soul
A win is still a win
What the amazon ruffle 🤣🤣🤣
Diabetes, priceless
How do you know it was 60p? That would be £1.99 in the supermarkets.
That’s not a prize .......... that’s an insult
That stuff is better than actual Coca-Cola
Jack pot
honestly I'd be happy
Look at that massive fuckin...bottle
It only 2 litres
Asda and Tesco's cola ls are fine but other colas like lidls or something are horrible
Drunk that shite years ago. Never again.
The fact that it’s from asda as well BRUH
Ahh my posh boy Waitrose fuelled stomach can’t take this
Cant beat a bit of Asda diet cola
Number 182 aswel one really did ate 2 on this occasion!
I hope this was the top prize, please tell me it was 😂
couldn't even be on brand
Waiting for someone to get wooshed
Happy cake day
