    Anon - Agree about the people barging for the whoopsies, but you have to understand the people posting whoopsies where they have 10+ items here are 90% likely to be those people who will grab everything and will barge you with their trolley... just saying.\\

    Been in two towns and the same story, really impolite, rude and greedy. Clearly some on here are the same people... they just dont see what they do in the same way.

    absolute rubbish, written to annoy.

    Rabbit food?

    Think I have told the story before there was an old guy who used to take a trolley load of white loaves. Someone said he used to go and feed the ducks, turns out he always got them for the hotel he worked for. :eek:

    I wish it was, but they have scouts around the store, just in case veg get reduced at the same time as meat or bread.....then they share it between their gang, putting it all in together.....staff say its for restaurants.

    Clearly this is aimed at me as I'm the only one who has posted whoopsies today. :o
    Maybe you didn't fully read my post. I said that I walk away if there's a lot of people. I have no need to fight over food. Today there was me and another man. We shared what was there and it was very civilised.

    Judging people without knowing the circumstances is a bit premature I think.

    If my posts upset you neas I suggest you put me on ignore.

    I might be playing devils advocate here. I have no opinion on what an acceptable amount of whoopsies is or isn't, I don't whoopsie shop.

    But I have been on the receiving end of several warnings public and private about responding to posts that were aimed at me/designed to get a reaction/ meant to provoke. And all of them I was advised not to respond to. Some of them have been from you yourself. No one likes being attacked personally and it's normal to fight back when you are.

    I think if you chose to document your life in public online, be that in posts about what you do, where you go, what you buy at the shops, what you have for dinner...then you have to accept you might get negative reactions as well as positive ones. You can't please all of the people all of the time. Inevitably you will p iss someone off. That's life.

    There does seem to be a perception here that we are a cosy little group who share things. Look at how many people read this thread and judge from that how comfy you are about sharing details. I'm not being negative, just realistic.

    When you chose to share information publicly, whatever that might be then you should do so knowing that it can be recieved positively or negatively.

    it's a conversation I have often with my kids and their FB, Twitter, Instagram and all the angst that comes along with those things

    Presumably you mean the warnings not to reply and not the provocative posts themselves? :p

    The only provocative posts I've seen TM post have been the turkey pics she posts for zippy :rotfl:
    Apparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen

    I have nothing to say about that.

    I do hope others reported the posts about Zippys wife that were posted tonight. uncalled for and I'm quite surprised at the thanks they got.

    maybe that's just me

    Frozen product, not making the M list. (This was considered because I do have the 'Frozen for Freshness' Blackberries 500g vs £2 M.) Why not just buy a Yazoo Chilled Smoothie at £1?:huh:

    Crop's Tangy Tropical Fruits Smoothie Mix (500g)

    Store_8.15px.png
    £2.00 40p / 100g

    Crop's a Juicy Berry Mix of Red Fruits (500g) £1.50 in Iceland according to msm. I don't have that one for M:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::(:rotfl::p:rotfl:.

    Maybe, just maybe, next store perhaps?!?:huh::rotfl:
