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’m more intrigued as to why anyone would put a full stop after each item.

Borowce appears to be a place in Poland, but I’m not sure that gets us any further forward, far less why the list maker might be a fan of it.

The e in pepper is similar @Livebythecoast. They seem to do two different types of e.

So is this where naice ham came from? Someone had written it on a shopping list? Grin

Mamamia7962 · 09/03/2022 11:25

The last item looks like it's been added by someone else. Different handwriting.

Livebythecoast · 09/03/2022 11:28

@SparklingLime - ah yes, I didn't look that closely but you're right - thank you!

NCLsim1990 · 09/03/2022 11:35

Browser fan maybe?

EarringsandLipstick · 09/03/2022 11:44

@SageRosemary

Burner fan could be a fan for the top of a wood burning stove, to circulate the heat throughout the room
That's exactly what it is. And really easy to read too!
FlippyFloppyFlappy · 09/03/2022 11:46

Yeah Borwcr Fan is really easy to read as burner fan 🤔

dudsville · 09/03/2022 17:20

"BORNCE" FAN?
And yes the do stops are odd.

Coffeencrochet · 09/03/2022 17:40

@BluTangClan

The last one's "Burner phone". "H.Dye" is the order. Hand it in to AC12.
Now we're sucking diesel!!

I’m more intrigued as to why anyone would put a full stop after each item.

I wonder if the pen tip was put on the paper whilst the list writer was thinking what else needed to be added.

ClariceQuiff · 09/03/2022 18:37

Clearly a murder has been committed.

Possibly drug-fuelled (they're restocking on 'coke' to keep the adrenaline pumping). Black bags for the body, bleach and cleaning stuff to make the scene forensically safe.

Then hair dye and the burner phone for a brand new identity.

joydivisionovengloves71 · 09/03/2022 18:45

I like t-rolls and h-dye like they are embarrassing things that need to be in code

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 09/03/2022 18:49

was it an ALdi list??

I reckon it's a stove fan for the woodburner, they had those in recently.

BakerMan · 09/03/2022 18:51

It looks like BORWCR FAN as the list is all in capitals.

Is there such thing as a BORWCR FAN?

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 09/03/2022 18:53

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow
I was going to ask the same! Aldi had those fans this week.

exactly what I was thinking!

I worked with a woman who did this. she would get to the end of each item on a list and dramatically add a full stop.

Erinyes · 09/03/2022 19:21

I like that, @cordelia16 — I imagine someone dramatically writing ‘Coke — FULL STOP! Garlic - FULL STOP!’

DobbyTheHouseElk · 09/03/2022 19:26

I do a full stop if I’m thinking

Spambod · 09/03/2022 19:59

They are moving house. Easy food and lots of cleaning products.

Winterautumn · 09/03/2022 22:33

I think the ‘full stops’ are actually they’ve dotting off the items as they’ve got them?!

🙄

Some people are determined to make a dead-simple list somehow intriguing.

thnkingaboutoptions · 09/03/2022 22:48

Yes, and it's actually possible if you're interested in people.

I find it intriguing. If you don't that's fine, but don't spoil it for the rest of us.

BakerMan · 10/03/2022 07:20

@EarringsandLipstick but it doesn't say burner fan to me.

I find it intriguing.
