Classic!! I fell foul of that typo in an old job - working for a firm producing "Corporate neckwear" - or ties and scarves for businesses, to you and me. We'd been having issues with a particularly fiddly silk screen print - it was a gorgeous design of a galleon on high seas but the waves were tipped with white as you might imagine, and the colours kept bleeding in. I learned my lesson about spellchecking when a letter nearly went out to the client with an unfortunate slip of the finger - it *should* have said "once again I have to apologise for the White in your design..." However... :eek::o

I've just been laughing over on your thread EH and now I'm in stitches on my own. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S! :rotfl::rotfl:

But then again karma is a powerful force!

Do you think Tesco would restock with avocados if we asked nicely? Otherwise there's always the 5kg order that we could split...

Actually, I need to do some research. They're still showing on mysupermarket and Tesco's website so maybe they're back?

I'm happy to do so greenbee, but you know darn well that the marketing/customer service types at mrT will just roll their eyes and go, 'Oh lawks, theres that bloomin whine-y Greying Pilgrim woman complaining, AGAIN' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::p

Perhaps they have re-stocked though, the avocados are versatile, perhaps there was sufficient demand, but folks couldn't actually FIND them instore?

I guess if we don't ask they won't bother. I can find a couple of bulk suppliers. If i'm ever in Tesco (and to be fair, I try to avoid it) I'll ask. If they DO stock them, I'll tidy the chest freezer and buy as many as it will fit!

I think you're right though - people probably couldn't find them. Which is kind of important!

Thanks for inviting us all over although we would probably have gate crashed if you hadn't. Subscribed and can't wait to see what unfolds. It can't be more of a shock than this past year.

Now as I sit here unable to sleep, that did make me spit out my camomile tea.

Happy Happy new diary dear hearts and baby hearts.

EH the bread and cheese was pre-empted by a small HM chip butty with lashings of butter as we just couldn't wait on the cheese's lengthy 20 min warm.

We have a new cooker (finally in) and plenty of potatoes and fresh bread if that doesn't cry chip butties I don't know what does.
