I'm feeling very curmudeonly tonight - I've somehow managed to mislay the key to a rat bait box I was re-filling this morning. Put the box on the outside table, opened it with the key, put the bait inside, shut the lid and put my hand down for the key - which wasn't there! We have searched high and low for it but still can't find it......grrrrrrr
We had to go into town to the bank the other day and two young men were indignantly protesting surprised that Burger King was shut. Obviously they had been living under a rock for the last 9 weeks.

Does the Co-op not display the price/g on the shelf label @KT53 ? I always used to check these details back in the old days when I was allowed to go shopping. I got an A in 'A' level Pure Mathematics ** years ago so I notice these things
Yes they do herbaceous, and I am good enough at maths to work out the unit price. It just seems ridiculous to have such price variation, and variation in pack content too. If I was of a cynical disposition I might even think it was designed to mislead.
Cynical is good @KT53 and it might be a misleading offer but I'm cynical enough to wonder (having had a few encounters with young checkout staff) if their GCSE was in Media Studies
"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." Sir Terry Pratchett
Lidl this morning: Guy in front paid for his shopping, as he walked away, the checkout guy called out, " 'Scuse me mate" " I'm NOT your mate" he called back. " You've left money on the till" he came back , snatched up the money and said " I'm STILL not your mate" Makes working in retail so rewarding .
My T shirt [two metres, p****] arrived today @Hostafan1. I suggest all people who have to work with the great unwashed should be issued with one as part of their standard uniform. My daughter [and most of the staff where she works] is fed up with people just pushing past her to reach stuff, as though they don't exist, or are disposable or something
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl, I understand your daughter being fed up, but I was in my local supermarket earlier. It has arrows on the floor to aid traffic flow. That didn't stop a member of staff pushing through people in the opposite direction with a trolley full of empty boxes. The separation is required both ways.
