RIGHT all you list hunters!! i'm seriously thinking of seeting up a "lists anonymous" group for those SERIOUSLY list addicted... there was a fight in the torlley park of our local Tescos yesterday and I'm SURE it was 2 Mnetters wrestling over a shopping list found in a torlley they were both running for! Haha
TEXT: "List grabber" to 12345

right, off to see if our library has any OLD FILTH...
will let you know if I find any!

My turn! found my first two today. I contemplated swiping one still in use but chickened out. right here we go.

List 1:

yoghurts

(I kid you not - that it it - it's on a tiny scrap of paper about an inch and a half by half an inch.)

List 2:

red biro - on the back of a letter about Wickes Home delivery

White flora
Descaler
Marmalade?
Olivio
MAYONNAISE (crossed out)
Dual wash tablets
TEA X 2 ("2" gone over twice)
Salt (crossed out - am not totally sure it says salt but think so)
RUBBER GLOVES
G (crossed out)

Bisquets?!

Dh works for Asda and he's finally brought me 4 lists! (Although 2 maybe from the same person-handwriting looks the same)
First ones not particularly exciting apart from the spelling mistake
Milk
Wipes
Bread
Pull ups
Sugar
Coffee
Bisquets/choc
crisps
Juice
Salad
Fruit

ok sorry, Bear- i apologise profusely...
You are, of course a MNer and obviously an exeption to the rule..!

unintelligible i meant

I found a list in the library this morning. It's a book list, not a food one, and it's obviously written by a MNer. Possibly a rather elderly one (spidery writing). Some things have R by them (for 'read'?)

Anita Shreve A Wedding in December (R)
Zadie Smith On Beauty
Jane Gardam The Hollow Hand, Queen of the Tambourine etc
Vikram Seth 2 Lives (R)
OLD FILTH
The Lighthouse PD James (R)
Robertson Davies What's Had in the Here???? (a bit intelligible actually -- only other place I've heard RD mentioned is MN book threads. Marina rates him I believe)
Maggie Gee Mysteries of Glass (crossed out vehemently, R)
Caryl Phillips Cement Garden Ian McEwan
Human Traces by Sebastian Faulks
Alison Lurie Truth and Consequences (also crossed out, R)
Ian Rankin The Flood
She May not Leave by Fay Weldon (crossed out, R)
Nicci French The Mmeory Game etc

Good list, I think
Must be a 'she'

Oi! I know nice ham when I get it - six slices off the bone organic hand carved honey roast, £ 4.92 to you.

I dont know why we write 'nice ham' for men- when most have trouble making the distinction between the nice ham and the mingin' shoe leather stuff- and just chuck in whatever they pick up first..! mainly out of date in my experience.... maybe we should take pics of nice ham....

ahh i see

Sorry I should have clarified I never thought to pick up the list as I had't read this thread yet, that was my to do list. I have been thwarted by by DS and is croaky throat, took MIL to pick up some stuff at the supermarket though and sat in the car with DS ready to pounce but didn't see any lists.

Bother - meant to abandon my list and forgot

a mnetter surely skribble!!

lolol@this thread.

cod you loon, but very entertaining and i must be a loon too

will add lists i find here from now one, i normally just leave them.
I get loads at work too, not back till june tho

Just remembered there was a list lying in the ailse I was working in today argh!

To Do List for tomorrow-
Stake out supermarket trolley park,
Trawl charity shops for £1.50 ebay challange item.
take MIL to dentist (drop MIL at Adsa for lists and I will concetrate on Tescos).

oh god its too funny, i can't breathe! must get out tomorrow and look for lists...lists...lists!!! may get desperate if i can't find any and ask friend to distract nice shopper whilst i grab list from their hand and make a run for it laughing insanely down the aisles! ...oooh its a bit like reading someone elses diary isn't it. my list would say chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate biscuits, something to feed the baby, petit filoul. but if i ever make a list i always end up losing it...or is one of you lot nabbing it when my backs turned!

I have been completly ignoring this thread but I will now be on the hunt for some now. Perhaps it is a local thing we call the shopping lines here or just lines.

Whoever writes out, in full, things like "semiskimmed milk"? That's "gr milk" on my lists. (We buy rd milk and bl milk too NTS).

Talking of Pitt Rivers - have you read Bollocks to Alton Towers? It gets a rave review! (In the book, not in the Guardian)

Oh, absolutely. An old lady with a beetroot habit!

Bit confused about "men" though - wishful thinking, perhaps?!

oooh - that is definitely an old person!
