do you ever find left over notes in shopping torlleys or elsewhere? i

you go girl - sounds like the plot of Footloose to me

Oh Bear... do you think I've been too horrid about the Listee?
But this is such a horrid snobby town I'm afraid I feel little remorse (my own sad little way of feeling less frowned upon).

Ame's minging. I'm going teetotal for lent and am roadtesting alternatives - yet to find an acceptable one, but it won't be Ame (or Schlurr)

it's like Pooh sticks innit? Leave it in a torlley and see if it comes back to haunt you online. Karmic revenge. Word of warning, be nice about your listees, I'm trying to not convince myself that I know one of mine and the guilt of taking a hand out of him/her is keeping me awake and almost stopped me doing this, but then what other kicks do I have with a largely absent breadwinner and two poorly demanding toddlers. Please promise that someone will tell me when to stop this, I'd hate to become dull.

I'm sure I had beef tins when I was a student living in Squalor. I know I had cubes, but beef tins is setting off a synaesthesial reaction, an aromatic memory way deep in my subconcious.

Bear - Fancy soft drinks Ame (with accent acute on the e!) or SCHLOER dont you think
We know that kind of thing 'ere we do

Oh God, how did I miss this?! Am off to Tesco tomorrow so will keep my eye out for lists! I think we should all leave a list with a poignant thing on it (e.g. baby pasta?) and see if it turns up back on MN!

Cubes!

Would be gutted if lost mine. We have a household book which has shopping lists, lists of jobs to be done at home, notes to each other etc.

would be like my arm had been cut off.

Ok - I got one today and it's totally totally Kenilworth! snooty snooty up your bummy clique clique snob town!
Another of the highly efficient abbreviators, this one has nice looking but difficult to read writing. Notes on the side are in Red ink whilst the body of the list is in Black ballpoint apart from two entries which are also written in Red (I shall mark these with an asterix)
it starts

Sains

Sberry Jam (ok think that's quite normal)
Melba T (oast I think)
Fat Chips (well I'd have to agree, better for you than weedy ones)
Soup - Covent G (arden? yup entering snob zone)
Caulif (lower)
Persil white and col - (in red) tabs (so not only does this woman separate colours from whites but she buys them separate detergent! Tooooo much time and money obviously!)
Sk Milk [1pint-Organic](obviously watching her figure this one)
Go Ahead Bars [Ras] (in red) x2 TDR (???? no idea what this TDR is code for)(told you she was watching her figure!)
*Tissues for work (how very naice! special ones... perhaps with a pretty pattern on! poncey person)
*White Lady (something that looks like Seaches???) (then more code) TTD off (any ideas anyone?)
lemons x2
Parsley (to sprinkle delicately on the faux home made soup I presume)
Avocados
Beef Tins (or at least that's what I think it says and I'm sticking to it!)
Noooooooo!!
Beef TOMS (Ha Ha Ha Ha didn't think Tins was specific enough)

So I think Woman (perhaps single - not a great deal of MAN food in there) Mid 40s, Likes good things in life, Tee total, OOOH sounds like a singles ad for her.... We could be onto something here!

(I went to the supermarket on Monday and had a furtive look for lists, but didn't want to make dh suspicious "I'll take the trolley back!" I said brightly. "No, you put ds in the car, I'll do it," he said - darn, foiled)

Granny could be right Maiou. My Granny loved smoked fish

Bear, I suspect it is a granny who looks after a grandchild

Lol @ fancy soft drinks!!!

today's offering is very straightforward. Angular handwriting looks mid-50s, but judging by the appearance of nappies on the list and the toddler scribbles over it in the same pen, I'd adjust back to mid-30s, but mature:
Veg (tomatoes) - got that wrong, they're fruit
Fruit (see above)
Surcare Washing Powder x 2
Butter - mysteriously scrubbed out
Bread
Smoked Fish - ooh, that hasn't come up before
Caster Sugar
Chorizo sausage - me, I never ask for this at the deli counter as I always forget how to say it, is it Koreetzo or Choritho (with the "Ch" as in chew), or summat else? anyway it's posh
Nappies - natch
Vanilla ice cream - wasn't long ago that all ice cream you got in the supermarket was vanilla, how we've moved on
Fancy soft drinks - eh? What are the fancy ones, not Rola Cola or Panda Pop I'll bet
Frozen peas
Can of sweetcorn
Pasta Bows
Shreddies cereal
Plain flour wholemeal (white scrubbed out)
Paper tissues
Chipolatas (nice, like them)
Maple Syrup
Balsamic Vinegar (heavily scrubbed out) - ABC1 then, but worried that someone might find the list and jump to conclusions, well someone did, me and with hours of CSI:Miami, NY and Vegas (Miami rules) behind me I can read anything you write - you can scrub, but you cannot hide

Various dog foods?
