I thought we had stumbled on a new way of measuring narcotics.
They do say you can buy anything in supermarkets now

mercy- i wish i could say 'yes how funny a bootle of coke' but that sp mistake was mine

Hmmmmm 1 tiger and 2 bootles of coke?

Am still sniggering at it cod .

Forget to list hunt today, will do it when im out tomorrow........

I like Jackieno's one - it all sounds very dignified and organised. If a shopping list can be dignified.

the second list is duller-written on plain white a4 paper folded in half.

first one;

Feta
parsley
avocado
fresh free range eggs
fresh spinachx3
grated cheese
mr muscle bathroom
sainsburys kitchen cleaner
fresh duck(toilet cleener)
bleach
edam

straws

Now what makes this list interesting is that opposite each word is written,i assume, the same word in arabic! do i get points for the novelty value?

Got one today in Waitrose in Abingdon. It?s big, though, but well organised. Written on the back of some instructions to a babysitter by the looks of things, as the reverse says ?TV on kid?s channel already? (their apostrophe), then ?Rachel? and a mobile phone number. Below it says ?Snack? with an arrow pointing down to the bottom of the page.

The list itself is on lined paper, which has then had vertical lines drawn over it, to create a grid. And it goes like this:

Avocadoes
Bananas
Cucumber x 2
Spinach
Apples
Peppers
Hummous
Dips
Mild cheddar
Cheese slices
Cream cheese
Marge
Plum yog
Little yogs
Eggs

Next column:
Plain flour
Baking powder
Caster sugar
Soft brown sugar
Vanilla es/ (essence ? I?m thinking a child?s birthday party is being planned here)
Plates/cups
CANDLES etc
60W Bayonet candle bulb
Tinned pineapple
Apple juice
OJ
Fizzy water
Lemonade.

Next column:
Crackers ? free from
Apricot bars
Biscuits/choc fingers (definitely a kids? party)
Bread ? white sliced
SODA (bread rather than drinks?)
Crisps (grown up)
Little cakes
Choc cake/carrot cake
Sausage rolls
Nibbles
Bread sticks
Wipes
Toilet roll
Nappies x 2
CRISPS (tots)
Apricot bars (again?)
Biscotti (that?s Waitrose for you - a better class of biscuit!)
Dishwasher tabs.

There?s definitely one or more kids? parties on the cards. It also has a supplementary list of things to do on the reverse of the list ?

Birthday cake [arrow pointing to] M+S/market
Pitt Rivers museum ? bits (I?m guessing for posh party bags?) ? SAT AM
Little bags ? x10 ? card shop
Ethan present/Noah presents (why does Ethan only get one and Noah gets 2? Seems a bit unfair to me).

Blimey ? bit of a mammoth one, sorry! I was excited out of all proportion to find one. Made my morning.

I love this thread.

veni
wonered ho uncultured that lot were not to lol at it
thoguth it was one of my best gags!

Proud to say this thread has been on my watch list since jan 14 and get a snigger out of it every day. (And if there's no snigger-factor I re-read spreadable butt and Bear's Butt-hinges (IYKWIM) and am snurking all over again. DH thinks it's barking but still demands daily updates . Race is still on for someone to find another MNetter list-nicking in your local store. Go go go!

Cod - i concede to your greater being - this thread has considerably warmed up since my last look at it!

Was pmsl at "last tango in paris" post.....

what a great thread. I can;t believe I've been ignoring it for so long. I'm definitely going to the shop tomorrow. I'm also going to start planting made-up lists for you to find.

all i can say (afraid wit and repartee are currently out of the repertoire) is THANK YOU all for a highly entertaining evening. oh bum. I really need to get out more...

Period and a cough. Bummer.

I discovered one in ASDA today. Was pleased. Just remembered \i put in in my handbag.:

bread
milk
cheese
Pitta's
croissants
water
stamps
tampax
cough medcine

It's a winner Bear, I'd watch it

another angle - a stylish series - a kind of amalgam of CSI, House and Jonathan Creek (stay with me, it'll be worth it) in which our intrepid list gatherers, erm, gather lists and enter their details into a vast supercomputer (called Mum) which analyses their contents and warns the gatherers of the listers' impending dietary problems, they then track down the listers and surreptitiously place good foods in their torlleys when they've been distracted by the gatherer's cute DD doing something very cute, so ensuring the listers avoid beri beri or rickets or a cold. It's still back of the envelope, but it wounds good doncha think? better than a lot of dross on telly at the minute - It's me or the dog, WTF?

Soupy I stand corrected - but I did get three there yesterday - so it all evens out and I think the rule should be, if there are none in the empty torlleys, you MUST liberate one from a live torlley and get your dd or ds to film you on their mobile phone - a kind of "happy-listing" and submit it for verification. Can see the censors' rating moving from U to PG ("contains scenes of mild peril and torlley-rage")
