    Had a mate working over there and often he'd bring me back a slab of Elephant beer, strong stuff. Iirc, they were £5 for 24

    Roads were really quiet driving home today, I believe everyone is in Tesco or Asda.

    Found a little boutique place outside the centre of town. All the women sorted with soaps and perfumes and all that **** in ten minutes. Town centre will be like a chav version of the last plane out of Saigon. **** that.

    I thought Sale would be out enough but clearly I was kidding myself.

    Most fun part was having to do 2 shops (dropping one off first) bcos Sainsbury the bastrds were out of half the stuff. @luvgonzo 's in for a nice surprise later.

    Yeah had to pop in to Tesco last year just before Xmas and I’d rather someone had just shot me. Pro tip is to be in a relationship in December and they’ll do it.

    oh dear god my mother has come down with a really bad cold ( she sounds dreadful ) so suddenly instead of going to hers i m might need go shopping for Christmas dinner stuff this weekend.
    Pray for Solid as i hate shopping at best of times and last time i had to do it i was "asked" to leave Sainsburys after 2 old biddies pissed me off so bad i ended up explaining to them why this planet would be so much better if they had never been born .

    Bring back social distancing .

    Mate social distancing would only mean you'll be lining up half way round the town centre just to get into the store.

    I'm afraid you are fcked. Soz.

    Find a 24 hour Tesco superstore and go at 4am tonight is my advice.

    I was going to suggest the same as Trebs, find a 24 hr store and go there late tonight.

    Butcher opens at 6am. They do a live stream so you can see how long the queue is. World’s gone mad but my one job is picking the goose up and buying the other meat while I’m down there. I might just about be trusted to chop some veg if I’m unlucky.

    same job for me tomorrow. But no webcam!

    last few years have been rain and snow, wait is normally 30-45 minutes to collect orders. They have a good system of going down line and knowing who is up next to cut wait time.

    boned out Turkey crown, bone in ham, sausages, pigs in blankets, black pudding and sausage meat and a dozen dry cure smoked bacon.
