Cost of living is not the same. So the comparable doesn't add up.
The difference is here for every two people R100 is either pocket change or a days money.(yes some people still get paid that per day)
If you had to directly convert to £42 it would be expensive.
I'm not doing a proper math equation I just want to clarify the reasoning,because ever since vaping ... Even pharmacies started charging more for VG
It's difficult to say as my area has a low crime rate anyway. We've seen a decrease so far overall, but I think you'll only see it in larger places.
@ARYANTO has created major fomo with these zoo biscuitsDay 11 : I have not been out of the house since the lock down started and after keeping a eye on this thread I have a sudden urge for Coke and Zoo Cookies thank you @ARYANTO
We are all facing the same battle but remember there is always a light at the end of the tunnel my friend.

I haven't had these biscuits in years. Today I was ordering from the Checkers Sixty app for absolute essentials, as the order can only be delivered to a family member's house not too far from us because our address is not covered by Checkers. My wife asked me after seeing the order list, "why do we have zoo biscuits as essentials?"

Whew!

@Ruwaid I had also not eaten them for years - until @ARYANTO mentioned them. By the time lockdown is over, everyone on the forum will be eating Zoo biscuits. New vapers going into a vape shop will automatically ask for Zoo biscuits too, because they'll think that it has something to do with vaping.
At times like this I wish that I lived in a city, instead of a small town with one supermarket, no Clicks/Dischem, no food deliveries of any kind. On the other hand, I sure am saving money during lockdown as I'm not buying take-aways!!
SWAMBO needs to spend another day at home pending a patient's test results tomorrow. So we decided to make an evening of it and try our hand at homemade pizzas. We don't have a round pan, so it definitely not traditional. Homemade dough too! First in is a garlic, herb and feta focaccia.
Neighbourhood Watch to ensure that no-one breaks curfew.
Even when we're relaxing on the deck, she keeps a beady eye on the street.
The end of a tiring shift!
Pizza number 2!
Chorizo, garlic, red pepper, chilli, mushrooms and some black olives.

Yeah. I got stared at for the Zoo Biscuits on the list today as well.
Apparently lettuce was more important today.
Tomorrow I shall conquer, somehow, I don't know how, but I will

Some people are idiots.
Also the caption had me in stitches
@Silver Not from the Internet. The head of a security organisation in Yzer sent it to all residents who have chosen to belong to that group. It's not a random Whatsapp message from just someone out there.
We rely on the security group for update info, as they kind of run the show here. Since that same Security has warned us about fake news I assume that they check info before sending it to the community. However, it's possible that they could have made a mistake too.
EDIT:
For those who don't know the area - security whatsapp groups are always just for your suburb. However, we're a small town, so for us it's the entire town - or whoever chooses to belong to the group, which I think is everyone.
Ya I hear you
I just think people should be more careful regarding spreading info where they don’t really know the source.
Sending it to your family is one thing but posting it on wider platforms without knowing where something comes from or what the original source is - is more troublesome.
In this particular case it seems this is not related to South Africa.
So perhaps ask your security group where they got this from. Would be interesting to know.
@Silver And I hear you and in future I won't post anything, anywhere, as it seems that there's a tremendous amount of BS circulating.
I'll take it up with our Security too.
EDIT: I'm deleting that post from both threads

Maybe you shouldn't delete the posts (it's good to know what is out there).
There is a lot of information (and emotion) going around, some is good. some not so much, just always state your source.
