Nah, you should leave your shopping until late on the 24th.

That's a good plan Derek.
Ros and I will be on the boat for the weekend so hope to have a bit of peace and tranquility ourselves

No sign of any sun down here Rod and the temperature is dropping fast

Whinge time

Have we as a nation lost all sense of courtesy and decent behaviour?

Just been in Lidl -

• stood to one side, to let people coming towards me get past what appeared to be a Mothers' Union meeting in the middle of an aisle; about 8 people walked past - not a 'thank you' from one of them.
• A women decided she was going to abandon her trolley, crossways in the aisle, while she had a nosey at the cheese. Unable to get past her, I said 'excuse me' - and got a grunt in return which sounded suspiciously like some sort of "off"
• A woman accompanied by 6 kids, all drinking bottles of pop - and one of them dropped their bottle all over the floor - leaving a dripping wet and dangerous pool of liquid. Did she ask a member of staff to mop it up - NO! - she told the kid to "just leave it" and carried on with her shopping.
• Finally, someone had obviously changed their mind about what they'd bought - so abandoned a pound of sugar, a bottle of milk and a packet of frozen peas on the floor

Bah humbug to the lot of 'em

I must admit you can get some right bargains on items about to go past their sell-by date

Evening all, the time has nearly arrived when I can get rid of some of the dead weight driving our vans, 5 accidents in the last month! 5!!!!!!! We haven't had that many in the last 3 years before this lot started driving for us!
