.....Because it is the shop nearest to dd's piano teacher. I seldom if ever go to Waitrose. They have an Aisle called 'Aspirational Toiletries'

LM Big Fat Welsh Arse off.

The other shoppers must have thought I was insane. So it is aspirational of have Kumquat and brown rice soap is it???? Grin I wouldn't know if I should wash in some of that stuff or eat it Grin

my local Waitrose is equally hilarious - I find my self snorting with suppressed mirth at the 'Perfectly Ripe organic exotic fruit' section' but it stocks such baby-related staples as Lansinoh, Sudocrem, those brilliant herbal teething powders and (I recently spotted) resuable nappies, none of which are available in my local Tesco.

methinks the bishop doth protest too much.

it's ok, mb, you don't have to feel bad about being a waitrose shopper. we welcome all here, even middle class rocket shoppers Grin

What exactly are the toiletries meant to be aspiring to?

PMSL! :o

SleepyJess · 08/05/2006 17:53

I'd have a go at eating it.. at the price I've no doubt it is, it seems almost wasteful to merely wash in down the sink.... Grin

"Aspirational toiletries' my Fat Southern Arse too! Are they for the purpose of making us lower class personages 'aspire to be cleaner' in th unlikely event that we should we shunt our low class carcases over the Waitrose threshhold?

SJ x

PS MB, am not implying you are lower class along with I! The 'we' was royal! [arf] Grin
