You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Mrs Binners was busy cooking tapas for tonight, and banished me off to the shops to get a couple of odds and sods she'd forgotten (and to get my half built bike out of the dining room)
So I've just moseyed, innocent and unsuspecting, into Morrisons. What greated me has chilled me to the bone! A scene of utter desperation and destruction. It seems the entire population had flocked there in a state of what can only be described as blind panic! They jettisoned every last vestige of their humanity as they picked over the decimated shelves, desperately searching for the nourishment needed to sustain them through the coming apocalypse. Even the aubergines were gone
The trouble is, I can't find out what this apocalypse is. I've checked for alien spacecraft hovering above. Nothing. The weather is a bit grim, but there are no immanent tsunami's or hurricanes forecast. There appears to be no deterioration in east west relations that threaten sudden thermonuclear Armageddon
So what's going on then?
Don't know, but the same in Tesco (only tried to get petrol). Tail back for the car park, mass panic. I think the shops are closed for about 12 hours. How will we survive?
[i]Even the aubergines were gone[/i]
They were fighting (well giving each other funny looks and sniffing a bit) over the Pancetta in Waitrose.
Waitrose in Henley was fine other than a bit of grabbing near the mulled wine scented toilet bleach
Everyone's stocking up on comfort food because they're all giving up smoking tonight.
Of course, the cunning ones stocked up a month ago... 😉
*this* is the best fight in a supermarket story of the year;

Good gods, man. I hope you bought pies.
Asda was no better - the WHOLE Xmas holidays and they decide they need to shop NOW!
Tesco in P'boro was also packed.
Luckily I was clicking/collecting, and the little hut you get the shopping from is out the way on the other end of the carpark. Wouldn't have bothered otherwise...

Booth's at Media City was serenity itself. It was like an epicurean library. All hushed and apologetic. And I saw Tony Morris off of Granada Reports 😆
Conversely , Morrison's on Christmas Eve was like watching the supermarket scene in Threads. There was even a run on dried dates. Madness.
It's the Y2014 bug innit? Or the wispy remains of comet Ison suddenly disobeying all the celsetial laws and dropping on London, or maybe it's the rumblings of the El Heirero volcano, or Texas swine flu...
or was it a Waily Excess weathergeddon headline?
Meadowhall was calm but full of young women who all seemed to have been given terracotta foundation and a thick black marker pen for Christmas, I was envious of the stils they had been given!
Sainsburys in whitley bay was lovely. I was only buying booze, the sparkly was a bit barren, but I got a couple of bottles.
All the major shops are closed tommorrow,due to sunday trading laws evn though its not sunday.
So lots of fat people with fat dogs driving aimlessly round looking for somewhere open to waste money.
My Mates away in his caravan for New Year and I nipped down to him yesterday, went to a Tesco express and they had no sandwiches, potatoes, bananas or anything sensible left.
It was like Armageddon.
Finally found a Sainburys that had a load of kids walking around it that smelled of weed. That had full shelves.......
The definitive answer from the definitive doomster...

My local Sainsburys is open tomorrow 🙂

Mrs Binners ... sent me off to the shops to get a couple of [s]odds and sods[/s]un-needed items she'd panicked into thinking she needed.
There I found a lot of other people just like me.
FTFU
oops, wrong thread. carry on
We went to the shop because we needed shopping.
We went, we bought stuff, we carried on.
Does it really matter if you have cornflakes for lunch ... then dinner?
Surely there's more important things than one's stomach, no?
I'd agree, for the sake of two 4 yr olds eating preferences and a quiet day tomorrow I couldn't care less.
My brother in law works at the local sainsburys, they took £11k in cheese on the night before Xmas eve. Weez doomed.
Noticed the blind panic through the high st on the way home.
decided to order an Indian takeaway and asked to add a couple of good bottles of wine to the order
Happy New Year
