Do I live in some kind of alternate universe to Guardian journos?
In article on debt, it states:
Ten to 15 years ago, annual fees were still charged for credit cards, so people did not generally have more than one.
Huh? it's nearly 30 years since I got my first credit card, and I've never paid an annual fee.
And in the article by confirmed carnivore spending a week as a 'veggie', he alleges that, in the vegetarian cookery books he was employing:
Among the staple ingredients listed in these books are arame seaweed, bergamot oil, mirin, masa harina and ketjap manis. I live in north London, home to the largest single concentration of poncey-food buyers in Britain. Yet I do not have a clue where to find those particular ingredients.
Most of them he would find in any North London supermarket if he looked properly, though there are a couple of things there that you might have to venture into Holland and Barrett, the high street health food chain, to source.
Please can somebody give me pointers on how to get back onto my right timeline? I seem to have slipped into an alternate one.
