A NEW BROOM

Prices are creeping up in Sicily and last weekend I was horrified at the bill for my supermarket shop, even though the most exotic item on it was a washing-up brush. It was exotic, to me, because it's the first time, in nine years, that I've been able to find one here! I was amused at the attempt at translation on the label, where it was described as a "broom."

What is this? A broom? It does not seem like a classic broom. Isn't it more like a toilet cleaner?

Similar here with prices....every time I go to the supermarket I never cease to be shocked at the increases...week after week. Prices are going up and up, and the money in my wallet, down and down!

A massive disparity that will never be fixed.

Hi, Francesca. No, it's a washing-up brush. The translation was wrong, as I said. Hi, Lee. So depressing!

It looks more like a loo brush than a washing up brush!!

Never mind, as long as it does the job.

Funny you should say that as I went to buy a toilet brush and was horrified. Thought the price was a joke at first.
