i am vaguely intrigued by these as identified in teh times
"Discarded notes are rubbish to most people, but not for worldwide subscribers to Found, which reprints them. The magazine?s publisher, Davy Rothbart, gets bundles sent to his office in Michigan. Laura Kwerel, a radio producer in Washington, was ?overwhelmed? after reading one issue. ?I realise now,? she says, ?that there is more humanity in a discarded grocery list than in a thousand-page novel.? Some people need to get out more. "

I adore this thread. I am hoping to find an American list to send you over the edge.

Blu · 20/01/2006 13:41

Ooooh, lets all start leaving our lists in the trolley!

If anyone finds one that says 'Golden Fleece' it's mine, because that's what I call those pan scourers with sponge on one side.
OR you could have tracked down my long lost flat mate from whom I inhertited the term!

Think 'Soft tart' could be 'soft tort' as in tortillas? To go with the rest of the Mexican stuff?

Would left over till receipts found in bottom of trolley count towards Cods social experiment, or do they have to be hand written pre shopping lists?

Miaou · 20/01/2006 13:38

Oh that is so funny. It's the way you tell 'em
