do you ever find left over notes in shopping torlleys or elsewhere? i

[codnotamod]

i am vaguely intrigued by these as identified in teh times
"Discarded notes are rubbish to most people, but not for worldwide subscribers to Found, which reprints them. The magazine?s publisher, Davy Rothbart, gets bundles sent to his office in Michigan. Laura Kwerel, a radio producer in Washington, was ?overwhelmed? after reading one issue. ?I realise now,? she says, ?that there is more humanity in a discarded grocery list than in a thousand-page novel.? Some people need to get out more. "

I adore this thread. I am hoping to find an American list to send you over the edge.

None at Sainsbury's - very odd types shop there and students who as we all know don't do lists. Have just rescued No. 3 from the bin and it could be Soft Tort, as opposed to Tart, and certainly in the context it makes sense, but it's not clear cut, so please if it's yours, I wasn't casting aspersions, I just can't read your writing

the thread's run on a mile without me (have had suuuuuuch a crap day [bloody banks emoticon]) I'm going to have to catch up!

Cod - I'm honoured.... feel I have to practice the wave for when returning my torlley!

Oh shit you've sussed me out then Bear s'burys - student - no list... I'm the cliche

I have been weeping with laughter Bear - love love love your assides

like it.

Looked this morning, but haven't found one - DH got the trolley and apologised for not managing to find one with a note . I kept looking at people in the supermarket with lists and craning to try to read them, with no success, sadly.

This is a brill thread, it's had me ROFL.

Made me very paranoid about what I write on my shopping lists though!
