It's easier if you just say what you want to say, and stop quoting me. Otherwise it just seems like deliberate provocation and I ain't having it fella, I come to enjoy the forum the same as everyone else. I don't need twats giving me hassle because I vote a particular way.
^^^^^ why he loves me so much<laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

Seventy-two people have tested positive for coronavirus at a dessert factory in Nottinghamshire.

The outbreak was reported at Bakkavor in Newark, which describes itself as "the leading provider of fresh prepared food in the UK".


The positive cases came after 701 workers were tested for the virus.
 
Shoppers made two million fewer trips to the supermarket than expected in the week after face mask rules came into force, according to latest industry figures.

Anyone does less shopping, or maybe doing it all in few goes?
 
Everything online now. Including food shop.
Sure i read earlier something like 13% of sales are now done online....that's a massive chunk...

Due to me finishing late after work, i still find myself going to the little Asda garage most nights, which is one off those 24hr mini markets... It's enough for my basic needs..

I give my mum and dad a shopping list once a week, as it gives them something to do, and they drop it off on saturday morning...Plus i get extra goodies hoyed in<laugh>

Aww, that's nice of your mum and dad. Although I did make a trip to the supermarket the other day, because buying in bulk, can't really happen for salad stuff.
 
Going shopping same as I always was, not really a fan of shopping online. Especially when buying veg or meat.

Masks although a tad annoying don't bother me too much as I'd already been wearing them for months at work so kinda got used to them.

On shopping I had a disagreement with a member of staff yesterday while getting some bread:

'Excuse me, you shouldn't really be picking up a loaf and then putting it back, you should put the first one in your basket'

'Well you shouldn't be charging £1.50 for a loaf of bread that goes out of date tomorrow so I'll keep browsing if that's okay with you'


****s.

It gives them something to do i guess...I didn't see them for 3 months, despite living less than 2 miles away.

It's funny as **** when they pop in and see the changes i've made to the place...My dad loves it, but i can see my mums face<laugh>

She's all wood furniture etc....

I'm hindered cos i now wear glasses and constant steaming up..But it's not a big price to pay really is it?

I do that <laugh>

Mind you, Lidl is cheap for their 'seeded sensation' rip off of the more famous brands. I still check the dates though!

Shopping at the Asda garage must be costing you extra. When I go to the local tesco express everything's at least 30% more expensive. I see people doing their weekly shop in there. They might as well go Waitrose!

In a small way. But i only really pop in for some cans, maybe baccy, and few things...Nothing of much really.

I only get my beer from there as i never have to much beer in the place....
