Supermarket checkout person commented oh very nice you dont see them often to customer " I cant find peas in a pod on the list" requesting help whilst trying to scan Supervisor "They are broads beans its under broad beans" Checkout "No they are peas in a pod not broad beans" Supervisor plus another "tut tut they are broad beans" raising eyebrows in the you stupid twonk sort of way Another "no they are runner beans" Put" them under broads beans because they are" more raised eyebrows and tuts. Checkout "Ok if you say so" "No says I they are peas in a pod" not broad beans or runner beans You can pop them and eat them raw yummy. Runner beans very nice with butter and a slice of fresh white bread Broad beans nice to. Smile from management team hopefully digesting the error of their ways. The management team realise they are out fought by more knowledgeable food folk and disappear
FFS... Bet they're listed under Mangetout or Sugar Snap. The swine. They are definitely all pod peas, though.
Kidney beans are not my bag. Mash, banger's & heinz baked beans with plenty of grated (Lancashire cheese on the top!) Plenty of The Original HP Brown Sauce on the mash. It has to be Warburtons toastie loaf with plenty of butter.
If you can get B&M Baked Beans were you are they are even better than Heinz. Boston's Best Baked Beans
Half-heard, yesterday, but customer not, by any chance, a white-tee-shirted bloke who had had the temerity to take last of something which had lost its bar-coded packaging? I mused on the sc-fi possibility of growing bar-coded vegetables as I continued packing my less-contentious shopping!
Branston Baked Beans far better. The sauce is richer and thicker than the wishy washy stuff in Heinz Baked Beans.
Never ceases to amaze me. Two weeks ago. Me to store assistant "Do you have green split peas?" Store assistant "Yes, follow me". Takes me to where I had been a minute previously and scans shelves. "Sorry we don't seem to sell them". Me "Do you have goat's milk?" Store assistant "Sorry, no". Wife appears round corner brandishing carton. "What's this then?" Store assistant vanishes! Tim
A 'Big 4' assistant, similarly obliged to wing it, once assured me they had completely discontinued the whole UHT milk I wanted. I returned the following week with an old cardboard 4-pack sleeve, c/w bar-code to double-check on their stock computer, and there it was - back on its usual shelf as large as life! Most 'Customer Disservice' staff insult you, by asking you to waste your copious free time returning later, but what sane retailer would tell you the precise opposite? Idiocy knows no bounds!
Cee topically reminded us of Hitler & Stalin yesterday but today's Sunday Times has Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are poles apart, but two peas in a pod with no similar cartoon I can find ... I'm apolitical, me - to also echo Rich Payne.
