The World Is Ending "now"

[Taybha]

Its now 11.30 i set off at 8pm smuggly knowing that asda would be empty and i could do my modest xmas shopping in 30 mins. LIKE FOOK. The place was heaving trollies filled to the brim with shit,people are just told to buy by TV ads and that bird with the big tits from corrie,i quarter filled my trolley and made for the checkouts,15 cashier points to choose from,lovely,4 were manned wat a joke,the queues were like the goldstone northstand at 2.45 on a matchday,f*** it im off and left my trolley down the tampax asile.

Right i thought ile go to tesco at the holmbush,spent 15 mins in there wandering around aimlessly,as i hadnt a clue where anything was and decided to give up. Went to marx n sparx for some milk and just got in.


f*** CHRISTMAS

 

[defrocked priest]

Mindless human cattle all those chrimbo shoppers and shame to you for not planning ahead to avoid being there in the first place.

Oh Yeh Feck Christmas as well.

 

[tinx]

home delivery shopping. The only way to go. We had ours delivered on Sunday no queueing. Lovely

 

[Taybha]

home shopping sounds a interesting concept right now,i would have joined the mindless cattle to be sure if i had have had the patience to queue. Last time i venture out after dark to a supermarket,fooking mad

Been mental around these parts today...

Traffic misery at shopping centre

Police in Bristol were advising people in the city to avoid the Cribbs Causeway area as a result of the sheer amount of traffic on Monday.

There were severe delays for motorists at the shopping centre for most of Monday afternoon with some cars remaining stationary for three hours.

One motorist told BBC News: "There were quite a few breakdowns as well which is causing more misery."

At 1935 GMT on Monday the situation was still said to be close to gridlock.

Off to the mother-in-law's Christmas eve.
We did the shopping on-line and had it delivered to her.

Fantastic, how we'd never thought of it before is beyond me.
The argueing and doubling up of crap brought has been completely stopped.

 

[Beach Hut]

Must admit since we have started shopping on line we buy far less "impulse" buys so to speak.

 

[Adam Virgo's Shirt]

Another online shopper here. Delivered Saturday and job done!

 

[Scoffers]

I went to Burgess Hill town centre on Sunday and it was virtually empty, virtually nobody in Argos, got the frozen stuff in Iceland then went to Tesco which was busier, but still able to get done quickly. I know BH is a shopping hell hole, but I got all the basics done with virtually no hassle.

f*** CHRISTMAS

I went to Sainsburys at Lyons Farm last night, just after 7. The veg aisle was a bit busy, the rest of the shop fairly quiet and no queue at the checkout. Sweet - job done.

I normally pop into asda on the way to work. Today it took 20 minutes to get a piece of fruit, wrapping paper and a few other small bits. They didn't have any bags either, so I helped myself to one of their bags for life!

Madness, it is one-in-one-out in the car park too!

 

[skipper734]

Bah humbug. Got man flu. Never get colds, except at Christmas shit happens. Bah humbug. Is it me.

Never go shopping when you're hungry, I've made that mistake many times and ended up coming home with bags full of snacks that I would otherwise never have considered buying

 

[pasty]

home delivery shopping. The only way to go. We had ours delivered on Sunday no queueing. Lovely

One enhancement to that. We had ours delivered between 4 and 5 yesterday so, oh dear, Mrs P and I were both at work so her daughter had to deal with it arriving and putting it all away

A nod off the totty i think means your right,not that she moans much when i come home armed with copious amounts of choccy

It's as if everyone has suddenly decided they can't have the cheap Christmas they were thinking about a few weeks ago, and suddenly everyone is spending like mad thinking "f*** it, I can't just give people socks this Christmas after all."

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

You could more or less write the January headlines now: 'Citizens Advice Bureau and Debt Counselling Agencies Swamped By Xmas Overspenders'

Why do people do it?

 

[black & white seagull]

Don't talk to me about home delivery! Mine arrived from Asda about an hour ago. Fifteen minutes later I realised several items of fresh veg were missing. 'No problem,' I think, 'I'll just call customer services and the driver can pop it back round.'

Oh no. There are no re-deliveries, only refunds!!!!!

I placed this f***ing order three weeks ago precisely so I could avoid the supermarkets, and now I'm going to have to go out to get f***ing sprouts, carrots, mushrooms and more. To say I am fuming would be an understatement.
