Yes Leon, that's pertinent too - the ones who think they are entitled to drive in the not-so-slow lane despite the fact there's nobody in the slow lane, so people who want to overtake a slower-moving vehicle have to wait 5 miles for the opportunity.

Just done our weekly grocery shop as Tesco opens their doors at 9.30am with the tills opening at 10am which gives us time to amble around in peace amongst a few of the regular Sunday morning shoppers.

Nothing like serene this morning it was like a siege in there with panic buying & selfish stockpilers out in full force, you'd think the stores were closing down selling off their produce cheap going by the amount of people ramming their trolleys into your ankles :(

One selfish bitch attempted to empty a whole shelve of paracetamols into a trolley only to be halted in her tracks by a member of staff who then suffered a haul of abusive language from the silly cow.

Long queues in B&M & Wilko's too hence our shopping experience took us twenty minutes longer today.

A change of tact in the forthcoming weeks to avoid a similar situation of selfishness of the highest degree for Jill & I as we'll do our weekly shop on a weekday at 7am, should be nice & peaceful then :)

She is a silly cow, there are limits to the number of paracetamol and like you can buy in one go normally anyway.
Just back from our Tesco, no rice, pasta, pills, eggs, toilet rolls, tissues etc, low stocks of tinned stuff, it was actually as bad as those few days before Christmas.


Glad I stock piled 2 weeks ago now ;-)

Invariably some of the daydreamer drivers move across after you have indicated & passed them manoeuvring from the outside to the inside lane. The ignorant/arrogant drivers carry on regardless.

Limit is generally two packets of tablets or medicine but you can't purchase both, obviously the silly cow thought she could making a fortune on ebay

No toilet rolls in Tesco or B&M, limited to one pack per person from Wilko's, tinned soups & fruit running low

Reminded me of Christmas time too mate.

We had an experience like that in a restaurant in Wales, great food, lovely ambience, however this loudmouth sat about four tables away spoilt the whole evening for us :(

Facebook went down and my neighbour turned up on my doorstep to show me the dinner she had made.
