Brilliant -the game was lovely to see even though I'm not a fan. Had the best ever fresh sandwich stall too and a french bakers...fab cheese and the veg displays were to die for...used to wait till the end of the day and buy stuff up cheap . Had Mushroom soup for weeks on end!

Re: Christmas Shopping Fireworks

Yes all of those.
Money wasted.

I adore this time of year, and the return of Acidic-babs.

The welcome return of a much loved overwintering guest.

The caustic chirp of a cocky robin.

Makes me look like a sweet-natured, young tit.

Re: Christmas Shopping Fireworks

I prefer the small shops and stalls -especiallly now my family is dwindling. It's soul destroying to push a trolley round a supermarket, never speaking to anyone...better a few friendly faces on the market or local shops- but then I'm old.fashioned...

I think our M.P.'s under the delusion that because some people shop at Lidl and Aldi, that must mean 95% of his constituents are fiercely pro-European Unionists.

There is nothing to stop you starting up a conversation in a supermarket.
Although there are only the two of us...we visit a variety of supermarkets....and rarely do we leave any of them without having a bit of banter with either the staff or some other old and crumbly....it might start by seeing some old girl trying to reach something on the high shelves....and helping her reach whatever it was...but we always, always chat to someone.

Conversation is a two way street....don't wait for someone else to start one...take the initiative yourself.
