A friend of mine once said to me

'How do i teach my child that people who shop in morissons are dirty?'

She also said she once invited a friend of her ds1 over to play because she thought 'it would be good for him to have a black friend'
Then when she realised this woman lived in a council house she didnt want to meet up with her again.

I think she may have lost the plot

This is absolutely true by the way, I know it seems completely ludicrous. Anyone else had any similar comments made to them?

powder, ugh, do they smell? I'd just bin them straight away - they could have lice you know! Ellbell - silly moo, you should know better than to go anywhere on christmas eve. I went to sainsburys (in wakey, of course) once. Never again . Do you live up here, or did you just have a special christmas trip to the wakefield nice morrisons after hearing how clean it was compared to some other morrisons. Have you tried Asda in wakefield, that also has a peculiar smell as does the co-op in Horbury, (but I think that's just the lentil weavers doing some ethical shopping)

whoo, kimi - helllllooooooo

PMSL at "penisy hands"

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 11:01

LOL Gingermonkey... Yes, I live here, but my visit to Morrisons on Christmas Eve was my first year up here and I was disorganised. Never again! PMSL at the Horbury lentil-weavers. I live very close to there!! Can't stand Asda either - I always meet my SIL in there, looking nicely dressed and made up while I look like a slob who forgot to comb her hair. Oh, and I haven't been back to Sainsburies since dd1 stood at the end of the freezer aisle and yelled at the top of her voice 'YOU'RE A MEANIE MUMMY AND I DON'T LOVE YOU ANY MORE'!

As you can see, my choice of supermarkets is now quite limited!

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 11:02

Kimi, how's things with you (sorry folks for hijacking). Has the school dad and his penisy hands wife (see how you can use it as an insult??!!)situation calmed down?

powder28 · 20/03/2007 11:05

I find Tesco completely manic and full of really ANGRY peple. Sainsburys is a lot calmer, Asda is ok but i can never find what i want. Aldi and Lidl are good for very cheap booze. I have heard of Netto but they dont have one where i am. ANyone been there?

Ellbell, I'd just stay at home if I were you. Go online and do your shopping. I sometimes lentil weave in Horbury Co-op (just to try and fit in) as it's quite local to me. I bought an organic chicken there just last week (and some coke to combat the lentil weaving properties of it). The shop assistant scanned it twice before I pointed out that, yes, that chicken is the same price as 3 normal chickens but lived a much happier life and was happy until the day she died. She looked at me like I was barmy. (Maybe I am?!)

Beauregard · 20/03/2007 11:09

What a stuck up lunatic your friend must be

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 11:09

powder, if you frequent lidl and aldi you would love netto - it's full of your sort (slightly dirty people, and the poor)

powder28 · 20/03/2007 11:10

I used to work in Somerfield, that was ok. I think people went there mainly just to have a chat or ask for directions to other supermarkets.

School dad and I no longer speak, He saw me in the supermarket and tried to hide behind the eggs think his wife must have been about he did return some tapes I had loaned he though.
He as started to talk to someone else at the school (please please let him run off with her, oh to see his wife's face then lol)
His son has stayed away from mine so that's all I'm worried about, how ever when I do see his wife I will point out that he and I did no more then talk on the school run and if she can't stop her hubby from jumping in to other womens beds (AND HE NEVER GOT IN TO MINE) thats her problem not mine. Instead of sending nasty texts to me she should go on a diet and get a hair cut!

Beauregard · 20/03/2007 11:13

Tell her never to go to Kwiksave then.
When we had such stores near us ,on the few occasion's i went in someone had either urinated on the floor and on one occasion a man stood and urinated up the checkout
Hence why i stopped going and will always refer to it as PissSave

kimi · 20/03/2007 11:14

HIM HAS

powder28 · 20/03/2007 11:15

I think i have heard Peter Kay talking about Netto. I am intrigued.
I did call a security guard a f*ing jobsworth on the tesco carpark. He told my mum she couldnt use the cashpoint cos we had pulled up in the EMPTY customer collection point. She only needed some money and we had ds1 in the car. THe mother and baby spaces were full.

I'm black and I shop at Aldi, so there![stick tongue out]

speedymama · 20/03/2007 11:17

Oh, I have token white friends and token Asian friends too

speedymama · 20/03/2007 11:18

Seriously, ditch the woman - imagine what she says about you behind your back.

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 11:19

Ah, Gingermonkey... I out-lentil-weave you by getting most of my meat from a farm shop (the one just near J39). My local Co-op is getting a face-lift at the moment, which means most of the staff can't work the tills!

ssd · 20/03/2007 11:20

I dream of shopping in morrisons

OrmIrian · 20/03/2007 11:21

I love the fact that Aldi is always empty and quiet - until you reach the checkout and there's one till working and 10 people waiting.

The only shop I really hate going to is Hypervalue (not called that now) which is great for paper plates and tupperware-y sort of stuff. It always seems to be full of angry mums and dads yelling at their kids. It made me cry once - very embarrassing.

powder28 · 20/03/2007 11:23

I remember going into a charity shop in a rough part of bristol and there was some bloke in the changing room. ONe of the poor staff was trying to get him to leave cos he was a bit of a loony. I couldnt see what as going on behind the curtain but the man just suddenly said 'No Maureen, get off me, you know youre not supposed to touch me there!'
