To want to go to Markies for picky bits

[Agirlnamedsam]

I’ve not been in a shop since the beginning of December. Been wfh and only been out to go to the park with DS or go for a walk.

We have been using Tesco click and collect, but I want to go to Markies and get some picky bits / afternoon tea for lunch tomorrow.

DH thinks I’m being a bit silly as it’s not necessary travel: and that we should be avoiding shops. He’s happy for us to get something delivered or to collect something. But I’m just a bit fed up and want to go and select some nice bits and pieces.

If you need some food to eat then you're allowed to go get it. As for the rest of these Karen's up in this bitch, stfu and get back to watching Midsummer Murders.

Growing up in Edinburgh family always called it Markies.

You have to be doing some sort of MN bingo.

Markies??!

Picky bits??!

Speak like an adult.

See this mass hysteria brigade are out targeting this post........OP YOU MURDERER

@Meepmeeep
We aren’t Aberdeen though 🤣🤣
I was confused as Im originally from Glasgow 🤣

Fed up as I’m now juggling childcare/ homeschooling with working full time. My son has been greeting and whining for days. I’ve stuck to every fucking rule for nearly a year. Not seen my family for a long time. Seen lots of other people meeting up with multiple people over the holidays. Not judging.

I think that a quick trip to Markies to pick up some picky bits is a minor crime.

But my husband and mumsnet think I’m being unreasonable (but I suspect mumsnet are saying it because of my word choice)

M&S food is available on Ocado , click and collect and Deliveroo round here

Dear God she said it again

Has anyone reported?

OP - go and purchase your luxury foodstuffs

Go for it Op. It's food and contrary to some people that would have you purely eating gruel during lockdown, you are allowed to buy treat food. We call it Marksies where I come from but if in ops locality they call it Marksies, so what? We all know what shop she was referring to.
As for picky bits that doesn't bother me either and in fact is a good term as I know exactly what sort of food you're referring to, Op. I don't understand why so many people are pretending to be "offended" by ops question and why other pp are being downright unpleasant to her. Hope you go/have been to the shop, Op. There are more important things to worry about right now than op buying some food. Like people accessing keyworkers places for the their children that they're not entitled to, exams cancelled, people losing their jobs and lives.

You won't find any more Percy pigs there.

OP I would go, it's for food, it's irrelevant that you got a delivery slot, if you fancy something else you can go and get it, fuck people will have to start showing inside their fridges next to see if they've still got some left

Am I living in a parallel universe where the pandemic isn't happening?

STAY THE FUCK AT HOME

I'm down south and I've heard older people call M&S "Marks"
Considering how often I hear "Tescos" or "Asdas" I don't think Markies is outrageous

She doesn't need food. You can add all the treats you want to your slot. But you shouldn't go out needlessly spreading the virus.

I'm from Scotland and it's markies most people call it where we live. Also picky bits is exactly what I would call it too!
No idea how anyone can possibly have a go about that! Clearly it's a regional thing!

Go and get your picky bits, it's food which is essential. Don't listen to the mumsnet COVID police! Just go!

Clearly @SusannaSpider knows that as she didn't put it in quotes grin*

My mother in law uses the word often. I married up.

Our slangs better than yours 😝

Ha ha ha Rickitarr. I forgot I shared my Birthday with Kate. To be fair I had it first, by quite a few years

Maybe they should have additional security on the door to check people’s shopping lists. If mumsnet does not deem it essential you ain’t getting in?

[quote Agirlnamedsam]@kleew1. Yes, I am.

Ok, I get the wrath about possibly spreading the disease, and possibly about saying “picky bits” (I couldn’t decide if nibbles or picky bits is worse): but what’s the deal with the outrage about saying Markies?[/quote]
❤️

Definitely. As long as you wear a mask and social distance then go for it. Could fair go some cheese/crackers and treats myself! X

"Considering how often I hear "Tescos" or "Asdas" I don't think Markies is outrageous"

I'd better not say I'm going to The Asda then 😁

You are all outrageous, I'm now hungry and feeling the need to rifle the freezer for Christmas leftover picky bits.

How do you feel about Kenny Mo’s on here? Is that an acceptable variation for a supermarket name?

Go and get your stuff OP. I am going out later to get some cider and snacks and bread.

I fancy picky bits now.

I'd better not say I'm going to The Asda then 😁

She means that saying “Asda” or “Tesco” is correct but she thinks saying “Asda’s” or “Tesco’s” is wrong.

What shoo is Kenny Mo's referring to?
