I found a shopping list!

I was so excited to find a shopping list in a trolley when I went shopping yesterday. My friend was very confused about how excited I was and that I was going to show it to ‘the internet’.
I can read most of them, just a couple that I’m not sure about…

I dunno. I think these have lost their appeal of when it were all fields around 'ere.

We've moved on from the naice ham.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 09/03/2022 08:26

What's the last one? Confused

Boscoforever · 09/03/2022 08:27

I think I have them all, except for the fan one at the end.
Don't rain on the OP's joy!Grin
They have nice writing.

justasoul · 09/03/2022 08:28

I’m not sure what the bath. one is? I’m presuming they’re not buying a bath… maybe cleaner, or bubble bath… I also have no idea what the fan one is.

And yet you still felt the need to open and post on a thread about them 😂😂

I love an aul' shopping list thread 😃
I can make out all except the last one Bourke Fan?? No idea!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 09/03/2022 08:34

Ugh why have I clicked on this? I need to know what that last item is 😭

Redhotchllisteppa · 09/03/2022 08:35

Could it be boŕrow fan?

dudsville · 09/03/2022 08:44

🥳 what beautiful handwriting.
It's interesting where they decide to shorten words and when they don't (h. dye vs hand wash). And yes, did they put the last item in the list just to mess with our heads?????

Marmite27 · 09/03/2022 08:47

I wonder what they mean by ‘wifes’.

Bath, presume bubble bath. No idea on the word preceding fan.

RonniePickering · 09/03/2022 08:48

Wifes are wipes.

Burner fan?

Oh man, that’s made me a bit emotional.

The writing and shortening of certain words is absolutely identical to my dads.

I found his last shopping list in his coat pocket while clearing out his house last weekend and kept it.

It was his last little bit of independence before having to go into hospital at the end of last year and then into a care home as his dementia worsened.

If you found it in slough, I would bet money on it being one of his.

Obira · 09/03/2022 09:16

The fan is obviously not a shopping list item because there’s a blank line between the list and the fan. No idea what it means though!

Mumdiva99 · 09/03/2022 09:24

I think it says borice fan. She means Boris Fan. It's a reminder that whilst she was a Boris fan a few years ago, now he's turned into such a twat that she has to write it daily to remind herself of the fact. (No debate here as to whether he was always a twat....it's not my reminder!!)

Livebythecoast · 09/03/2022 09:42

@SparklingLime

Burner fan?
That's the only thing that makes sense although they've over written the 'U' and not finished off the 'E' ? - I like Mumdiva99 's explanation though!
sidesplittinglol · 09/03/2022 09:54

The last is burner fan

Halllyup17 · 09/03/2022 10:14

Yeah, I'm as confused as your friend. Is this really a thing, being excited at whatever mundane items the last person to use the trolley bought?

SageRosemary · 09/03/2022 10:14

Burner fan could be a fan for the top of a wood burning stove, to circulate the heat throughout the room

BluTangClan · 09/03/2022 10:59

The last one's "Burner phone".
"H.Dye" is the order.
Hand it in to AC12.
