Don't they do the cheap plain stripey stuff anymore?
I don't suppose you've noticed that the noodles you add hot water to are gooey mush now compared to before?

The Lidl ones are OK. 
Over 50% of the population are on some kind of state benefit. Perhaps if that was substantially reduced then those who really need it might not feel the pinch so much.

The same 300ml of boiling water and a microwave.
You've got me thinking now though because I always used to do them in a pastic measuring jug. and I use a glass one now. I checked that 300ml is the same on both. they are.
so it could be the glass that's making them gooey!

maybe the mains power is now slightly higher or lower and you are overcooking/under-cooking them in the microwave

what are your predictions den?? i always see articles with tax credits at the top in terms of most money spent on "unprotected" benefits since child benefit and some others seem safe

Tax credits will be hit massively that's for sure , the housing benefit cap will come down , some sickness/disabled benefits are likely to be hit as well , inheritance tax will be raised and probably there are quite a few other things in the mix as well Vince.

Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
As I understand the thrust is to make employers pay better wages so that the state doesn't need to supplement them with expensive benefits. What's the problem with that?
Making the poor pay taxes so the state then gives them back the money they should have kept in the first place is just daft. Get the state off the peoples backs.

Totally agree ,the main problem with tax credits though is the potential debt they can leave already hard up families ,the whole tax credit system needs abolishing or changing completely ,scrapping the minimum wage in favour of a living wage would be good though
