i've just bought the stuff in morrisons, a massive bag of picking onions was 55p and i bought sarsons spiced pickling vinegar got 1.30p, couldn't get the chilli flakes so i thought that vinegar would be ok seeing as though it sounded a bit spicy, i can't wait now, jeff can't believe i've bought the stuff after promising him them for almost a year !
