    I seem to get behind the retired couple who stop opposite where the member of staff is unloading a cage,and spend several minutes discussing the merits of Huntley and Palmers cornish wafers versus water biscuits,whilst blocking the aisle.Bless!!

    which one came up trumps?
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    I treat the isles as I would driving a car, I steer the trolley to the shelves where I want my product ensuring a free aisle, I wouldnt slam my brakes on in the middle of a road or junction at a 45 degree angle, block the road to traffic, to chat to may mate in the opposite lane.

    Perhaps men should be banned from supermarkets as most of them seem to spend their time nagging their OH when shopping. Frightened they'll miss the bookies or pub probably.
    Not all men go to the pub or bookies ;)

    Can I ask, why do women find it nessecary to stare and compare pasta for 20 minutes, except for the VERY informed choice I see no benefit.

    This is because men shop and women browse. We men know what exactly what we want to buy and get it. Most women seem to look at every available item on the shelves and then not buy anything.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    To be honest with you i dont think women and trolleys are compatible, also they have a habit of pushing the trolley whilst looking to the left or right but not looking straight ahead,

    Close but no cigar, it's the people who don't bother to start packing until after they've paid.

    thats annoying as well, no wonder the queues get long, do they seem to think the shopping will jump into a bag on they're own accord

    How can you look at the shelves if you only look straight ahead?

    Even when women drive they window shop and not look ahead causing more accidents than anyone else

    but they also push the trolley which in turn could knock someone over

    And then go back to the first item they saw. (they also don't like it when they get home):j
