I love cheap!
I come from a very humble Welsh valley background where a salad creme sandwich was the highlight of a Sunday afternoon lunch.

Butter was considered posh, as was pre sliced bread.

Toast was toasted on one side only ... pop up toasters were for posh familys only and flipping the bread over under the tiny gas grill was a waste of precious gas.

And now that I am heading on a white knuckle ride scarily towards 50 years old I find that by dint of my parents dedication to my education (gods bless you both)and what I have eventually made of it; I find myself once again (especially at this time of year) breaking wind and scratching my balls in the halls of the high and mighty, being forced to attend "drinks and nibbles" functions with the "elite" .

Just got back from one tonight rubbing shoulders with a couple of Nobel Prize winners, politicians,The Mayor, The latest crop of "bright young things" and a couple of Olympic gold medal winners who were bought in at considerable expense as a novelty! (wonder what your Council tax gets spent on?)]


I hated evey horrid second of it and left well well early!

I just wanted a bottle of cheap spanish white wine and a findus pancake sandwich!

Which I now am cooking/drinking after turning my nose up at the vintage wines and ports and the expensive "celeb chef" branded catering.

:)

Banned from the Roxy ... OK !!!


/edit I missed Crisp sandwiches in the OP ! FTW!

A crisp sarnie was a real treat when I was a kid !
