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. "

maybe he's onto us and is referring to prospective readers of the note - "I'm buying a mango, some nuts, fruit and my lunch, you nosy need-to-get-out-more ass-wipes!"

None at all in Sainsburys today and I must have had a quick gander at hundreds of torlleys - gutted

Carmenere · 16/01/2006 16:30

I found one today in Tesco. It's written on a bright yellow post-it and all it says on it is
Mango,
Nuts,
Fruit,
Lunch,
Ass wipes.

Ass wipes fgs - has to have been written by a man. What do you think he/she means? Toilet roll, moist toilet paper or baby wipes?

the eggs & loo roll could have been the must not forget items

Doesn't count - has to be a torlley.

Surely if they had a lot of eggs they'd be unlikely to need much loo roll.

catsmother · 15/01/2006 22:04

I found one in Tescos today. It said:

Eggs
Loo roll

That was all ............. maybe it belonged to someone with amnesia ??!!

AND it was in a trolley. Maybe they were buying loo roll in bulk but otherwise I'd have thought a basket would've done.
