Quality or price! There are quite a few "treats" that used to be really good quality. A breakfast at a farm cafe,certain fresh cakes from Sainsbury's etc. It's bad enough that the prices have shot up ( understandable) but the quality has dropped so much that they're no longer worth treating myself to. Would you pay a higher price to keep the quality?

I've had several in the last few days inviting me to invest in fine art - guaranteed to give a good return.

Yeah, sure!

The bottom has dropped out of the romance scams market, also inviting WASPI's to hand over their details and a bogus law firm somewhere out in India that will make a claim for "rightful compensation" which the DWP has flatly refused. So now it's non-existent "trusted" art galleries trying to part us from our money.

These people will never give up - their sense of overwhelming greed combined with a total lack of morals is far too strong.
