to stop shopping at morrisons because

[gatheringstones]

i'd rather pay more in sainsburys and not have to put up with the constant agro in morrisons car park? honestly, people shouting, horns blaring, speeding - you name it. i just snapped today and thought 'never again' when i heard a man shout 'FUCK OFF CUNT' at the top of his voice at some woman in a car who was giving as good as she got. no idea what happened but he was a pedestrian, elderly and with a stick. going by past experience he prob wasn't moving fast enough for her or forced her to slow down or - horror - wait for a second.

meanwhile dd1,almost 4 just gazes at me, 'why are those people shouting mummy?'

and it's not much better in the shop.

then you venture out onto holloway road. the police go out in groups of four.

i really don't want to live in a middle class enclave in london - where's the point of living in london then? and i know i can't shield the kids from conflict and everyday shit on the streets - but there's limits and jeez i've had enough for one day. i want a house. in the country. deep in the country.

I agree with the OP. I avoid Morissons like the plague.

Bloody hell, whereabouts do you live?!
I get my shopping delivered, saves loads of aggro.
i once parked a little closer to one side of a car park space than the other (but still within the lines), got back to my car and found a note on the windscreen, calling me a cunt and hoping I'd die on my way home...

Once had a very unfortunate incident in the least rough of the Sainsburys in Peterborough, pretty soon after moving to the sticks from SE London where I thought I was used to pretty rough supermarkets. During his tirade, the man behind me in the queue threatened to kill me!! My crime? Not putting down the next customer please divider!!

NigellaTufnel was bothered about offence: "there was always a lot of people there without the full compliment of limbs" In most of the supermarkets in P'boro, the number of people without the full complement of brains are in the majority (apart from Lidls and it really is like going on holiday, agree with Swedes! (memo to self - get out more!))

Prefer to go to Stamford - new Waitrose and M&S SF - far more posh clientèle and far nearer the full ticket too!

Great thread - such light relief compared to some

To shop at Morrisons you have to either want 5 sausage rolls for 99p or an herbaceous border that would make Gertrud Jekyll proud. They should give me a job in their advertising department.

at next customer divider outrage.

It was at Wood Green that I saw one of those buggies with a tray attached that had a can of lager and packet of cigs in it.
The lager was Stella, so probably quite classy for those parts.
Internet shopping all the way here......
