To love a good supermarket scrap thread?

[BupcakesAndCunting]

There have been some good ones this week, what with the snow turning everyone rabid and that.

Tell Aunty Bupcakes your best supermarket scrap threads. I loves 'em I do.

and

In which case I would have rammed him with my shopping cart while screaming for my friend to pepper spray him. I had plans.

" There is an actual term "Minnesota Nice" because to be rude in public here is non existent."

Imagine if Bupcakes moved into the neighbourhood

, "Fuck off, chunk"

There'd be no cakes left untouched for a start.

Sorry honestly I've got a brain like a sieve, CY. I can't remember what conversations I had this morning.

Perhaps angry man was not a Minnesota native?

I would fit in naicely in Minnesota. Jokes.

We would forgive you as you'd be forrin. Not your fault. You'd probably have to bring some naice jell-o to the potluck in the church basement to make up for it though. :o

That inference that Farm Foods no longer exists upthread... Then it was confirmed as still extant...

Anyhoo, for the first time ever, just seen an advert for Farm Foods. You'll never guess who's on it... It's only bloody Orville and Keith Harris!
(Inordinately pleased by this.)

I'll bring no such thing.

I'll bring a naice Vicki sponge that I haven't stoved in.

Yank, we say jelly in these parts. That's jam to you, right?
I reckon Buppy would probably headbutt jelly.

Everyone would look at it with suspicion while scoffing proper American food...like lutefisk. :o

Jam is different than jelly. American jam is pretty much the same thing as British jam. Jelly is clear and less runny. It does have a sort of gelatinous thing going on. There is "bramble jelly" here in the UK, and that's what we call "jelly" back home. Only we prefer grapes.

Trivia: purple things in America are grape flavoured rather than black currant flavoured because sometime in the late 19th century, the black currant bushes got some sort of fungous that threatened forestry. So, it was all dug up and burnt and it was illegal to grow black currants until something like the 1980's. Therefor, all purple sweets were grape flavoured. Most expats I know over here don't like the taste of black currants. (Some do, but it seems most don't). We tend to find it weird and perfume-y. It took me a short while to remember to stop eating the purple Skittles and Starbursts over here. They were a nasty surprise.

Jam and jelly aren't quite interchangeable, but pretty much. They're used the same way but jam is usually thicker.

Bleeeeeee... Lutefisk

Or what Katy said. :) And yes everything purple is grape. The only time I'd ever heard of currants was in 'Peter Rabbit'.

Ooooh I love grape flavoured things! That's what I liked best about the U.S when I have been. Oh yes. I am so cultured.

With your little basket and your big tits

God bless Mumsnet.

I have 15wo asleep on me right now and nearly keep waking her by shaking with laughter at this thread. Cake punching and ' fuck off chunk' especially

Who is this impostor?

Yeah god bless mumsnet and bups I've been waiting for a chance to tell my little basket, big tits story to the masses for years .... Like to point out even though I do indeed have large boobs, they are not bigger than a tesco's basket !!

Oh and ' leave it Don ' and ' fuck off chunk' have had me snorting with laughter on and off ever since I read them ( and why I am nearly hourly checking this fab thread !!)

Best I've heard about was a fight over a turkey, it happened at the checkout. Customer behind the one putting food up took the turkey out of the customers trolley. There was swearing and then a fist fight , both were taken away by security and the turkey was put on the shelf ( store was sold out so the last one )

A day later and am still cracking up at telling her husband they have muzzles on the pet aisle!

Same here Viking. :o

oh oh oh i have one. I have told it on MN before but...

Mid Jan a few years ago i was shopping at Tescos in Osterley. While in the car waiting for exH to fill up with petrol i could see a woman going thru all the Sunday papers and stealing all the suppliments and putting them in her wicker basket on the front of her bike. I watched this for a while and felt really angry about it, as she walked off with her bike and her booty i opened the car door and shouted 'you have to pay for them you know'.

Well, she went mental, she threw her bike on the ground and started screaming incoherently (she looked like the neighbour in Father Ted shouting about 'the greeks') then picked up all the mags and ran toward my car. I thought oh shit, jumped back in and shut the door and put the lock down just as she reached my window and started punching the and kicking the door. She was shouting 'you pay for them' - i don't really know why and i tried to point out that it wasn't me stealing them but she was in no mood to be reasoned with.

She started pulling the windscreen wipers and wing mirror off and exH said 'oi stop that' she ran up to him and told him she was going to kill us. She then sort of ran out of steam and started walking back towards her bike. Then halfway there, she seemed to get a second wind and turned back and ran at me again screaming 'i hope you had a nice xmas because it will be your last, i know people, i'm going to have you killed'

Helpfully the security staff, on witnessing this, had locked themselves in the forecourt cabin and were watching it all with bemused faces. So they were nice and safe...well that's okay then!

at terrorist bread and naanade.

I've been proper sniggering at loads of these.

MrsKoala that's terrifying

Just remembered another. I was shopping in morrisons and friend rang. I was chatting to her whilst I shopped and I heared tutting from behind me. I turned around to see some old duffer shaking his head at me! I was flipping forty! I carried on shopping and chatting but only quietly and he followed me from aisle to aisle tutting and head shaking. I was so angry I told my friend in a loud voice "some old cunt is flooring me around the shop I think he's a pervert so I have to go so I can call the police"
He beat a hasty path away from me.
I do sometimes think it must be me so this thread has proved otherwise.
