Just opened a tube of Pringles - why is it not full to the top? What a rip-off #shrinkflation

I'm thinking these jeans are ready for the bin ...

@Marikacobbold @jennirsl @thetimes I work part time in a pub because journalism is so poorly paid. A few weeks ago a guy came in and munched his way through a whole packet of Werther's Original, scattering each individual wrapper all over the bar because obviously it's up to plebs to tidy up after people like him.

@FosterAdrian I had to turn it off after one contestant was asked: "What mode of transport do children refer to as a choo-choo?" Abysmal.

A contestant on Celebrity Mastermind was just asked the embarrassingly simple question: "What does the N stand for on a compass?" I can't believe how dumb the questions are on this show nowadays.
