Here begins the longest month of my life....
GAIL AND LIZZY What are you two talking about? TOMMY AND SPUID Football. What were you talking about? GAIL and LIZZY Shopping. (Trainspotting)
As you have probably gathered from my last post, I’m not a fan of football and if you are an observant reader of Purple Elephant’s Corner you have no doubt worked out that I hate shopping just as much. It’s not so much the purchasing and the promise of having food in the cupboards or jeans without holes in the wardrobe but it’s the other people getting in the way and not understanding basic of queue etiquette that make the whole experience a complete and utter misery. Not to mention the staff who keep swapping things around to keep you in there for longer, when really all I want from life is for the tomato ketchup to be in the same place for two weeks running.... but I digress...
Guess where I was between 2 and 4 o clock yesterday afternoon? Yes you’ve guessed it I was in Tesco’s. It was so empty I thought it was closed for a minute. The whole painful experience was over in seconds. I am such a genius!
Of course by empty I mean that nobody had bothered to turn up for work and actually stock the shelves and this was obviously part of the reason why I was out of there so quickly. The family were none too impressed that they had to eat their burgers out of pitta bread rather than burger buns (and brown ones at that I am such a torturer.) At least the cat likes me, I could only get ultra supreme (read expensive) cat food. Sammy, just don’t you get used to it alright....
So, tell me, what was the score again?
