I had no idea that the supermarket was a source of cultural difference until the first time I went shopping there with my husband (in the very early days). I went to get a trolley and he looked at me with a kind of horror and said: <br />"You're not going to take one of those?" And I looked at him with an equally bemused expression and said: <br />"Of course. It's a supermarket, I'm taking a trolley."<br />"You are not ashamed?" he asked in a form of unknown supermarket innocence.<br />I realised I was with a man who really did grow up with the culture of going to the market with a basket, of buying from traders and that the introduction of the supermarket and being seen in one was a shameful act! And I am not talking about the dark ages, this was in the year 2000! A moment in a supermarket, I will never, ever forget. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-36162588622721650892013-04-19T10:59:58.999-07:002013-04-19T10:59:58.999-07:00It's top of the list!!

Instead you walked down the line in the middle of the road. How safe is that!!!!). After a few beers we came back to the street we'd parked it in, only to see two guys trying open the doors to get in. Being young, fit... and fairly drunk... we tackled them and said that if they'd go away we'd say no more about it. Then I saw my mother's identical car 50 feet further up the road. The two guys were very nice about it and only beat us up a little bit!<br />SOOOOO embarrassing!Richard Hardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053966010128373952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-77231213123704088292013-04-17T12:16:03.187-07:002013-04-17T12:16:03.187-07:00Just realized you may be getting my silly comment ...Just realized you may be getting my silly comment twice.

My husband is not allowed to go shopping alone. He loves "bargains" and believes in bulk buying with such a holy conviction, I fear for what little closet and cabinet space I have left.

...Hi Carol,<br /><br />Apologies if this has posted twice...<br /><br />I'm really pleased to hear the town council have put the planning application on hold, and I can't understand why councils don't do more on the inner city brown sites.<br /><br />Surely that would be more beneficial for everyone?
