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. "

left mine on trolley in Podium car park underneath Waitrose in Bath this morning. Anyone found it yet?

(I think the lovely people at Waitrose remove the lists before they put the trolleys out for the next customers - looked everywhere for one - nothing doing)

Lonelymum, why didn't you pick up all the lists, that's very remiss of you!

btw, Encona is a company which sells African/Caribbean food (mostly)but is mainly well known for its spicy sauces

Likewise, here - none in Waitrose - they must be onto this and don't want the copyright problems there might be when the film is made (Sandra Bullock's playing Cod)

I've spent all day ressearching the "black state" epiphany I arrived at last night - turns out it's a photovoltaic coverings thing with particular reference to bistable electro-optic displays and could have some military application, so I have informed Mi6 who may have to close down the site for a day or two, so if you go over to UK Parents during the downtime, do remember to come back

well as Johnny Depp's company has bought the rights, I'd assumed he'd be doing it himself, but I'm easy - I'm just happy to be involved

I'm so sad - get all excited and expectant when I see Bear's name against this thread.

Glad I'm not the only one LIZS

Is v funny tho

I'm sure bear ridiculed me earlier on when I claimed there were never any lists at Waitrose.

Love the thought of Sandra Bullock as you as well

Soupy I stand corrected - but I did get three there yesterday - so it all evens out and I think the rule should be, if there are none in the empty torlleys, you MUST liberate one from a live torlley and get your dd or ds to film you on their mobile phone - a kind of "happy-listing" and submit it for verification. Can see the censors' rating moving from U to PG ("contains scenes of mild peril and torlley-rage")

another angle - a stylish series - a kind of amalgam of CSI, House and Jonathan Creek (stay with me, it'll be worth it) in which our intrepid list gatherers, erm, gather lists and enter their details into a vast supercomputer (called Mum) which analyses their contents and warns the gatherers of the listers' impending dietary problems, they then track down the listers and surreptitiously place good foods in their torlleys when they've been distracted by the gatherer's cute DD doing something very cute, so ensuring the listers avoid beri beri or rickets or a cold. It's still back of the envelope, but it wounds good doncha think? better than a lot of dross on telly at the minute - It's me or the dog, WTF?

Period and a cough. Bummer.

all i can say (afraid wit and repartee are currently out of the repertoire) is THANK YOU all for a highly entertaining evening. oh bum. I really need to get out more...

what a great thread. I can;t believe I've been ignoring it for so long. I'm definitely going to the shop tomorrow. I'm also going to start planting made-up lists for you to find.
