    As the owner of two dogs I wholeheartedly agree. I've never knowingly not picked up my dogs poo, and when I do I don't just dump the bag, I put it in a bin

    I have people to do the big shop for me.

    The arrive in a big van with my big shop.

    Probably saves a fortune actually, in stead of impulse buying while mooching round doing an actual shop

    I've so far resisted the order online route as I like to squeeze my plums prior to purchase to ensure freshness and quality. Likewise the Missus, who is always on the lookout for the biggest, firmest bananas as she claims she enjoys them more.


    How do you overcome these issues, Den?

    You just order what you desire and then when they get delivered and you take them in, you and the missus can squeeze whatever you want in the comfort of your own kitchen and then if your plums are unusually lumpy, or your wife is handling one of unsatisfactory girth then you just pop them back in the box and hand them back to the driver.

    We do go to shops of course, but getting a delivery gets the majority of stuff here without having to lug it all.

    Lazy I know, but life’s too short to wander round a supermarket with a trolley

    Imagine the delicious irony of a Tesco picker deciding Cumberland sausages will do as a replacement for vegan ones. :emoticon-0138-think

    Nah
    We’re on a ‘no replacements’ rule.

    As I wander around the supermarket picking up my own shopping checking the sell by dates and all the fruit and veg are in pristine condition I see the stores in store shoppers chucking dens shopping into a designated box not checking any use by date or condition.
    Then there are the offers and special prices I am able to make the most of where as the in store shopper gives only what you ask for. Usually.

    But if the condition isn’t good I hand it back, and often they refund me the money, but give me the food anyway.
    You rarely get free food from physical shopping unless you’re using big pantaloon trousers to slip stuff into…

    Enough of the back and forth, bottom line is you're just an idle git, says he who waits in the car while Mrs Two does the supermarket shop. That is all.

    Pesto?
    Are you mad?! It’s not vegan (unless it’s a very specialist one)

    I do not wish to participate in eating the products of rape of cows, separating them from their babies, who are sometimes shot there and then, and the same cows being killed after only a quarter of their natural life…

    I've been getting home deliveries for the best part of 10 years. Wouldn't go back.
