You might want to keep an eye out in your local supermarkets...

I saw on the IE forum a few days ago (please don’t judge me!) that people are actually planning on using some sort of signal to let other people know they’re basically looking to cheat in supermarkets – two bell peppers with the stalks facing downwards in a trolley or basket. Just thought I’d put this out there in case the same is going on in your local supermarkets because judging by the responses some people are already doing it: www.illicitencounters.com/flirtforum/view/id/771

This has been going in for years. The hand holding over the cabbages is well known.

Are you on glue?

Oh blimey I better be careful about how I place a cucumber in my trolley.

It’s the aubergine you really need to be worried about.

Just don’t put it next to your jar of Vaseline otherwise you’ll attract all sorts

Shouldn't some of the participants be displaying lush figs?

Upside down bell peppers? Whatever happened to upside down pineapples?

This was a thing in Spain recently wasn't it? With pineapples at 7pm? Fairly sure I read a BBC article about additional security being needed in the fruit & veg aisle because so many teens were turning up.

I need to get out more.....

I do hope people aren’t going to be man handling peppers then putting them back on the shelf.

couldn’t they at least choose something that comes in a packet/box/bottle?

As if we don't have enough to deal with in retail now I'm going to have to tell my staff to be on the lookout for people with oddly placed produce in their trollies and baskets 😂

This could really cheer my staff up if it happens in this country.

In the 1970's it was bananas. If you had the hand (bunch) down in your trolley you were 'unavailable', if they were facing up then you were open to offers, as my Mum put it! Hers always faced down before anyone asks.

It could be worse, whatever you do, don't put the "Fifty Things To Do With An Aubergine" cookbook in your trolley!! 🍆 🍆 🍆 🍆 🍆 🍆

I'm almost scared to read this because the headline is so fucking amazing and full of promise. What a headline!

Like, to the supermarket? Wink wink, nudge nudge.

I am mildly baffled why I need to be aware of this, OP? It it a public service message for singles? Are you warning about misunderstandings that might ensue due to accidental trolley placement of veg or fruit? Or should we be concerned about the shock of seeing people flirting over the frozen veg?

Anyway, I don't think it has reached my small town unless exchanging a few words about how windy it is or how busy the main road is no represents a come on.

Bell peppers give me hiccups.

What am I supposed to do?

Hold your nose and drink a glass of water.

That explains why the peppers in markses all looked like they'd been in a fight, yesterday. Bloody randy pensioners!

But I always buy a cucumber and a jar of Vaseline! Every shop. Thanks for the heads up!

Not very sexy, is it?

Our supermarket tends to sell bell peppers in packs of three.
Does that mean I’m looking for a threesome if I wedge them in my basket right?
