MILLIONAIRE chef Jamie Oliver has attacked Britain's drinking culture and urged people to forget their troubles by sniffing some really fresh basil.
 Jamie's Plastic Jar With a Ball In It is just £9.99 The Sainsbury's frontman also accused Britain of being obsessed with material goods like mobile phones and iPods, instead of the Tefal Jamie Oliver Series, or one of those rubbish flavour-shaker things. He said: "If you've had a tough week don't waste yer money on gettin' pissed yet again. "Grab a handful of rocket, some really fresh pine nuts and some pork belly and invite yer trendy London mates round so you can all sip fancy Asian beer and talk about yer latest projects. "And instead of goin' to the pub and havin' a right good laugh, why not just stay in with the wife and kids and spend the evening sniffin' some home grown mint or coriander? "Or you could invite the neighbours round for a pesto party where everyone competes to make the best pesto and the winner gets a free upgrade for their flavour-shaker." He added: "If you do have money to spare don't waste it on pointless stuff like beer and crisps. Instead, why not spend fifty grand on a camper van and then go on Top Gear and show it off like a dick?"
