...to think it uncouth for an adult to be swigging from a large carton of Tropicana at the checkout.

[LIZS]

Woman in queue behind us (very short queue by most people's standards, just one in front and her behind me) was unloading her trolley and had opened one of her several 1 1/2 or 2l cartons of Tropicana and was swigging away, replaced cap and placed it on the conveyor. There is a coffee shop in the store so she could have stopped for a drink before shopping or once through the checkout.

oh blondelle chill out a bit

???? I think it's none of you business, if she pays for it, I don't see why she can't have a drink...you must have been really bored for noticing it !

I am truly coming to the conclusion the world is split btwn those who let their kids eat in supermarkets and those who don't (and climb on the wrong side of slides et al ad nauseam)

Whatever gets you through the night. But I wouldn't be arsed getting tissed up watching someone else do it.

Dino -Grapeglasses? Not quite the same ring.

I always thought it was a generational thing. My mum and dad would never eat in town. How old are you Blondelle?

who said anything about eating in public?
I'm talking about in a supermarket trolley

Ocado deliver Blondelle, try that.

Would ensure you don't bump into uncouth individuals and the unemployed

i quite enjoy being uncouth and downmarket...mn is excellent for reassuring me i am

wheni buy a newspaper i forbid myself to read the headlines until i have paid for it

lol powder, do you find crumbs in your Michelin man stomach folds the following day..then wash them down with more gin?

I do a lot of my shopping online, too many angry people in the supermarket.

Humm it happens that I give graps to my DD and a juice while we are at the supermarket...what does it make me ?

nailpolish I join the ranks of blokes in smiths on saturday morning reading all the magazines and not buying any

Blondelle, you need to meet Anna8888 - you'd like her

mwahmwah fio

I usually carry the gin round town in a brown paper bag for the ultimate vagrant look.

FGS She was drinking fruit juice on a hot day, not shooting up smack at the checkout. Get a sense of proportion.

I did see a group of people smoking crack on the stairs exiting a train station in Brixton a while ago, shocked me rather more than this woman would have....

Zeitgest I used to pass them on route from Railton Road to the leisure centre when I was taking my little girl swimming. Horrible.

Mind you, if I did go shopping with dd, I probably wouldn't let her eat stuff off the shelves .....

more brixtonians! whereabouts are you?

pmsl at this thread. Hilarious. If people get so shocked by someone drinking in public no wonder we get so many gawps and outright stares when out and about.

I love all the "it's ok if they're diabetic" comments. Erm how would you know?
