Kings Bromley Marina.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a tin of Quality Street chocolates, first produced in 1936 by Mackintosh, later by Rowntree Mackintosh and now by Nestle, my mother always buys a tin for us, the sweets were £5 last year and the same price this year, a bargain, or is it.
We kept last years empty tin, it's full of various bits and pieces in a cupboard, this years tin looks roughly the same but is about 10mm less in height, a check on the underside reveals that last year the contents were 1kg, this year the contents are 820g.

A bit like Poundland. Of course, they can't easily put the price up there, but some things shrink over the years. For example, you could get a reasonable size can of WD40 for your quid a few years ago, but today's offering is more stocking filler than main present. More handbag size than toolbox size!
