"Car tax, TV license, MOT, water rates!!! Now that's a biggy"
How could you leave outcar insurance?
Legalised insurance. Theoreticallly you only need third party cover but they will come up with all sorts of excuses for not offering it. |

No no, he's can be sold at a reduced fee. Plus he's scored against City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barca. For you my friend, £60mil. Very cheap! |

"Disability specific equipment  "
I used to wander through the disablilty equipment area in a local garden centre and couldn't believe the rip off prices being charged. They should have been hanging their heads in shame at the opportunism being displayed.
Things like those folding seats that double as a walking aid.
How the hell could they justify the prices when you could get a far more complicated camping chair containing far more aluminium and canvas for only a fraction of the price! |

"Blueberries 🫐 "
Blackberries (or as they are called up here blackites).
They are everywhere especially now and they are a . Trying to get them out of the garden in the forgotten corner is a nuisance. I just don't get it 🤷 |

"Sky TV and Broadband 🙄 £89 a month for a basic package. Guess I’m going to have to ring them again and pretend I’m leaving, just to get some money knocked off my bill…"
They a nightmare for doing that was with them over 15 years and did this countless times before getting sick and leaving for good, they have sent a debt collection agency after me for 15 quid the cunts. Think about geting one of those sticks instead you get all the sky channels plus almost every film and box set in existence for 50 quid a year |

"Hair cut
Oddly enough, haircuts haven't been that expensive for me. Then again, I imagine barbers charge less then hairdressers!
My appointments are £130. "
Totally not me paying £8 to the barber I've had since I was a child  |

If you put the word "disability" into a product, the price immediately doubles. My wheelchair cost £4500 as an example. |

Craft/Artisan/Hipster beers.
The only time they're an acceptable price is when it's a case of them on offer.
However I'm not going to buy a case of 6/8/10/12 of them if I don't know whether I like them! |

"Pink tax - why is a razor marketed at women more expensive than the same razor marketed at men?
Sanitary products
Disability tax - mobility or other equipment should not have the markup it does
"

Ironically, I use one of those for my downstairs shaving operations, as I found they work better. Happy to pay my share. 😇 |

Cars. There's no way that they should've risen as much as they have in the last decade. Take all the basic family sized hatchback models and they've gone from sub £20k to mid £20k to £30k plus. Thendon't even get started on insurance. |

Mr KC took up some alternative miniatures to keep the habit but reduce the cost. He treats himself to WH periodically. |

They’re shocking aren’t they! Really thinking about cancelling it as I only really use it to record/rewind stuff. I hardly even watch the sky channels. Yeah the sticks looks good, might look into them - thank you ☺️ |

Aye they crept my bill up from 60 a month to 105 I didn’t notice for ages as don’t look at outgoings very often that’s why I refused to pay the 15 as by my reckoning they owe me.
Definitely worth looking into get the sky channels anywsy including all pay per views (picture admittedly isn’t as good as the sky itself on the sky channels) as well as films while they still at the pictures as well as box sets ect, just ask about as quality varies one of my mates spends more times off or buffering than it does on haha |

"Condoms
Been buying them recently at 39p for pack of 9 ultrathins.
Not exactly expensive! Don't mind wearing them at that price!"
Are you sure you haven't been purchasing those mini balloons?  |

"Women.
Less so if they go 'Dutch'.
More so if they don't."
Watch out for those Dutch women, their customary greeting is to kiss three times on the cheek when first meeting - can be a bit of a surprise when you are used to only two air kisses! |

"Anything from WH Smith
Even worse if it’s in an airport or train station "
I have had a resentment with WH Smith since back in the 1970s they refused to sell Gay News.
Keep hoping they will go bust but no such luck!
Still silly prices. |

It does but they're the same price for both of us now so that makes us the same age  |

This is capitalism winning, if there is a cost on anything and we as the general population are prepared to pay for it then they will name their price, we shouldn’t have to buy bottled water, it’s madness to run water through a series of filters and then put in a plastic bottle for us to consume when the water companies could just do the same and send it to the tap (profit goes where eh?) sanitary items for ladies, should be free, having a period is punishment enough without having to pay for it monetarily, as soon as they name the price and we buy it, that’s it the precedent is set, what we should do is …… |

“Street food”… £7 for a slice of pizza? £12.50 for some “dirty” fries with manky sauce and spring onions on top? £4 for a bottle of water? F**k right off.
I’ve really got a grudge with “street food” (aka chips with a topping), pizzas and burgers. Mostly because it seems to be all that’s sold everywhere now
