I worked out that lunch was costing me about £60 per month, and now that I’m having to commute and my petrol costs have shot up, then this is a cost I can do without. Not least, there are so many choices of lunchtime eatery in Yeovil, and I always end up buying the most fattening (damn you Subway and your foot long meatball sub with extra cheese). On top of this, I always end up popping into some shop or other and spending even more money that I don’t need to. Solution: bring a packed lunch.

Except this isn’t much of a solution, because I now can no longer work my way through the morning hunger pangs when I know that I have a packet of my wife’s delicious cheese, ham and coleslaw sandwiches in my bag. It’s half ten on a Monday, and the sandwiches have just bought it, and now I will have naff all at lunchtime, and will no doubt be wasting away by mid-afternoon. In the words of James May, esteemed motoring journalist: “cock!”
