FIFA say that a pitch can be between 0.62 to 0.82 hectares but I imagine there's much greater variation outside of regulated clubs. Given the alternative facts favoured by this government they probably include Subutteo in the size limit.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
That's exactly why they water at half time @pansyface. They want the surface slippery so the ball moves better. The players wear studs to stop them slipping.
Surely being able to play in different conditions would demonstrate more skill? Dry and brown in summer, mud in winter etc.
Them wuz the days @JennyJ. Mud up to their armpits in winter or rock hard at the start and end of the season. Leather balls that doubled in weight during the game. Proper men played then For clarity, I never played football or rugby 'coz I don't like getting cold and wet.
I've just come back from our local Sainsbury's and hadn't been in there since before Christmas. No fresh meat, fish or cheese counters any more. No cafe. Only 3 proper tills open and queues at all of them. I didn't see anybody using self scan. I don't like self scan and they wouldn't have been any use today as I was getting booze in for a family get together this weekend. Flamin' system beeping and having to get a staff member for every item wouldn't have lightened my mood.
Then there's this gem. Ocean-bound plastic is litter that's intercepted and recycled before it reaches the sea apparently. The title still makes it look like they're planning to throw your recycling into the sea though.

Why is a shopping bag considered to be an 'unexpected item in the bagging area'? Self scan seems to be used a lot in our Sainsbury's. I haven't tried it myself yet.
I tried self scan a couple of times when it was introduced in Belgium but it took longer to shop and I was then checked anyway for being an unhabitual user. I loathe the fast scan checkouts and only use them in one DIY store here when the queues are awful.
I usually do one big shop a week and I'd much rather have a proper person at the till to check it thru.

I love the self scan tills! I especially love the zapper that they have in Waitrose, where I can zap each item and put it straight into my shopping bags, and zap and pay on the way out. My dodgy back loves it too! I used to have to take advantage of offers to pack my bags at the till, except that I would get the kind assistant to unload my trolley onto the conveyor belt, while I put the shopping into bags at the other end. Something particularly painful about fishing the shopping out of the depths of the trolley, I used to come home with a very achey back.
The only time I tried that zapper jobbie in Waitrose, many years ago now, they stopped me at the door and made me go back and have everything done by a proper till person.
Made me feel like a suspect or something.
And my shopping trip took twice as long as it need have.
Never again. Talk about customer experience.
it's a totally random thing. I'd say in our branch is doesn't even happen once a day. Just bad luck, sorry
