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.

buppers come to asda Gloucester when they put out the reduced stuff. A team of regulars come at that time and form a wall around the shelf. They take all the best stuff and then continue to remain steadfast waiting for other stuff to come! Me and a lady were asking them to move so we could look and they completely ignored us. We then realised they were in fact foreign so didn't understand us.
I felt a bit pissed off but thought oh well if you can be that blatant your need is obviously greater than mine Hmm

I have never seen the Asda Gloucester reduced bits. I haven't a clue where it would be.

I was thrilled in the Tesco in Brockworth (parochial gloucestershire supermarket chat here, sorry!) just after Christmas where they put the massive big deli counter pates/hams/pork pies out. It was really quiet, I could have picked up probably 2 kilos of pate for about 80p. But then I realised that christmas pate scoffing was the reason that I felt like a fat bastard, and went to glumly read boxes of Adios instead.

I would love a trip toAsda Gloucester. It sounds delightful!

I am actually crying at MrsKoala's post especially "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 her having a second wind and coming back. Ha ha ha ha ha! Terrifying for you but funny for us! Grin

Come on down bupcakes

I can show you the sights of Gloucester (scary supermarkets, boarded up lapdancing clubs) and then we can go to Cheltenham and you will see a different world of Whole Foods market, cheese shops where 2 lumps of cheese will cost you 30 quid (still fucking bitter about that) and a statue of a rabbit with a reasonable sized willy.

Not in a supermarket but in a car park. I had parked up and was sat in my car waiting for a friend to arrive. The car park was huge - probably holds around 1000 cars. There was only about 10 other cars there when another car pulled in to the space at the side of me. From all of those spaces they chose the one next to me! I wasn't even in the one closest to the door or anything. There was also a row of disabled spaces in front of me and to the far side of the car park.
The driver the opened his door and rammed it in to my car whilst I sat there with my mouth hanging open. He then bashed open the rear door again banging my car and proceeded to get a wheelchair out for the passenger in the back. He was about to scrape the wheelchair down the side of my car when I quickly reversed out and moved to another space. I asked him what on earth he was doing and why on earth he had parked next to me when he needed space for the wheelchair. He said "it's not my problem is it" and carried on Confused.
Luckily there was only a few minor scrapes on my car which I got out with t cut. I was far too shocked to be able to do anything!

LOL at Leslie Crowther Grin

I've been to that Gloucester. It made me feel a bit sad. I'd got DS with me (3 months old) and he's done a jolly big jobby in his nappy. The closest place I could see with a changing thing was..... Wetherspoons. I went in.... and straight back out again. It was like an alcohol fuelled Dawn of the Dead.

I do love Chelters though. I shall come down. And scare all of the Cheltenham Ladies College girls with my Black Country accent.

"Yow awroight bab?!"

Oh don't worry about the Cheltenham lot, they are not as posh as they like to think, all a bunch of carrot crunchers really

Poor old Gloucester. It is sad. It's a shame, as there are some lovely bits, but it really suffers I think from having Cheltenham next door.

My new job takes me to Birmingham soon for one day a week, so I may pick up some brum sayings (or yammy ones).

Ha ha I'll come and meet you in Brum for a scone.

The first time me and DH went to Cheltenham, we were going around in circles in that street where Boots/M&S is going "This ay posh isit? I thought it woz posh here?!" Then when all the shops were shutting we found the naice bit :(

Haha yes, you have to go right up the top for the posh bit.

I thought the same first time I came to Cheltenham - I entered it via a huge shite council estate, then was dropped outside Wilkinsons, which was next to Primark and other scummy shops. Wasn't what I expected at all, like you I didn't find the nice bit for hours.

I am only jealous ledkr because I don't live there any more and moved to Gloucester for a bigger house. Sad

The Wetherspoons in Gloucester is frightening. I have been out for an evening out in Gloucester ONCE. Never again. And there is not one restaurant actually in the city, it's weird. Loads of indians and chinese places, but not a decent restaurant for a treat.

Cheltenham is a brilliant night out, once you get over the fact that the nightclubs look like they are held in your nan's front room (lots in regency buildings).

Yeh we often look at the bigger houses we could afford and sigh but schools dictate we are stuck here.
I went to glos once and got spiked! In chambers. The cunts. I was line bloody bambi legs all over the place.
Somehow I feel as if I've stepped back on town when I go there. Lots of 80s fashion.
I was in eastgate yesterday doing a promotional stand and saw some very interesting outfits!!

God, he was right. I went in and was hit square in the chops by a fug of piss-stained old man's crotches, cheap ale, fag smoke and mouldy betting slips. A place of true desperation.

Seriously, Buppy, that anecdote is one of my reasons for not legalising guns, i honestly believe if she'd have been packing she would have popped a cap in my ass. I mean who would have thought it Osterley on a nice Sunday morning.

I found it funny at the time but later, on review, thought holy fuckamole she was properly bonkers.

You know, I think that DH has founf out my username (left my inbox open on my Kindle last night and he was reading one of my messages, the fat-faced old gaffer) I think I might be due a name change and this thread may have provided the perfect name.

I can't believe you just said 'popped a cap in my ass', MrsKoala I'm imagining it said in a really posh voice now.

'she'd've popped a cap in my arse, darling, you know?'
