I'll start

Those little tubs of beans that you get at KFC and Wagon Wheels (or is that me just getting bigger ?)

Most coins. And banknotes too, for that matter.

Créme eggs... (although we all knew that)

I only noticed not long ago that bank notes are different sizes. The £5 note is tiny compared to the £50.

Talking of bank notes, does anyone else think the new £20 is really nice? It's a really nice, smart looking bank note.

I guess the Bank of England will get round to making the other notes the same design soon. Although, there wouldn't be much point if the Queen dies - they'll have to re-issue all the notes and coins with Charles's face on them!

They've actually denied that it has...

"If you're eating a Cadbury Crème Egg in the UK or Canada - nothing has changed, they're the same size as ever. However, in the United States, our business partner, Hershey, elected to reduce the size of the crème egg."

Cadbury's creme eggs are vile. It's like eating a chocolate covered placenta or something equally stomach-churning.

Technologically: Laptop computers, computer monitors, set top boxes and the screws holding the IKEA cabinet together that you put them all on

The IQ of politicians (although that was on the decrease already as soon as the Tories got in in the 70s).
