Who will buy this wonderful earworm.
Such a worm you never did see!
Who will tie it up with a ribbon, and put it in my ear for me?

Top brand snouts are an eye watering EIGHT POUNDS a pack of 20 now apparently. Shocked:

I'm on rollies, on which I spend about 7 snotters a WEEK.
Still far too much (for a disgusting habit granted  redface: ) but a damned sight more palitable than £50-60 a week, or £200 + per month.
Nearly in mortgage spend  territory now ffs! eeek:
