Banned from Sainsbury's
Didn't like shopping there anyway.
Yesterday I was at my local Sainsbury's store buying a large bag of Winalot dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had - an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Winalot Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time, but I'd lost 2 stone before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Winalot nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off of the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's !!!! and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard.
I'm now banned from Sainsbury's.
Better watch what you ask retired people.
They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have tears streaming down my face at this. Love it, love it, love it.

I hope I am that quick witted when I get to retire. Oh what fun !

I can't see why this was grounds for Sainsbugs to ban you?

I started researching my family history on Paternal side (my maiden name) when we moved down to Peterborough in '85. When on courses for work in London, I would go to St Catherine's House, and then traced family back to Manningtree/Mistley Hall in Essex from 1805, prior to that in Suffolk, oddly enough altojack, around Rendlesham/Pettistree. Got back to 1722 but hit a dead end with recorded destroyed at parish needed. But I used to love doing it

This was before computer software :eek:

I think I started in the early 1980s, not laying down a tree as such but making notes of stuff that dad was telling me about his mothers family, Hindson (printers) from there I asked him about his fathers family.
Once started laying down on paper to 'tree' I couldn't stop. Several visits to London, including Kew for Army records and medal records.

Of course it is made easier these days with various software and I wonder how many hours I would have saved doing it the easy way

Rendlesham/Pettistree not far from me :cool:
