Why are Finally using the £1 per person per day for the first time in like 2 years again it makes it seem a lot tougher than just "Basic Rations"

Anyone agree or could you just not care less

It seems they are always on the £1 per person, per day in bb. I'm a bit bored of it tbh. If they get more money, they can buy more alcohol! And in many ways, a happier house is better. I get sick of hearing people whinging about fags or lack there-of.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't £1 per head per day been the basic shopping budget for a while?

With food inflation at about 15% they are going to be hungry on £1 per person per day.

i don't mean the fact that the housemates have £1 per day i mean the fact that BB is using the terminology for the first time since BB6 again

For BB7 and 8 they just said Basic Rations which doesn't really mean anything compare to £1 per day

Does it really matter whether it's referred to as £1-per-head-per-day, or basic rations

It give me a kind of feel to what they have to work with Basic Rations can mean anything really. I just feel a figure gives it more depth to what is at stake for the housemates than just a word which is up to interpretation

the only problem with it is that bb for some reason has different price to the normal world so where a roll of toliet paper in the outside world is like 30p in the house it is something like 5p
