Or better still try tasty Wincarnis, which somehow manages to function as both a stimulant and a sedative!

Absolutely. It's hard to think of a context where we'd need to talk about reduction by 10% when we wouldn't explicitly refer to reduction and this percentage.

It's very thin gruel indeed. I'm wondering how many more days of front page stories the Mail are going to devote to this feeble memoir.

Figured it out. The first jug is a very tame Victorian Bacchus. You can see here, from his ancestor, that the Smarties/polka dots were once fruit.

Another character jug, in this one the polka dots are larger and 3D and are beginning to resemble fruit, he also has vines around his forehead and a bit of devilry in his expression

But where does it end? Do people have to declare cups of coffee and biscuits? Soap and toilet paper they used in someone's bathroom? It also misses the fact that people can be 'bought' with favours that have no financial value.
