Are these American mutants perhaps?

You can't call Bill a dick - that's name calling....

I must admit that Mrs Cut and I went shopping in Asda yesterday, we wanted to go to Matalan as I needed some new underwear,( Headquarters and General Supplies having been shut for a few years I had to find a new supplier)and it was on the way. We also stopped off at Argos and picked up their new catalogue.

Later on today we are paying a visit to Morrison's as it is near Dunelm Mills which is the main visit on the list. New curtains and linen are the order of the day.

On the way back it will be a visit to the local chippie for the obligatory fish and chips seeing its Friday.

As you see I lead an eventful and full social life outside of this board. :)

Sounds like you should be looking for work as a mystery shopper...

I've just come back from ASsociated DAiries (smug mode). Sometimes we shop there. Sometimes we shop at Tesco. Sometimes we shop at the Cooperative. There is not much difference between them. I have no preference. Couldn't care less about the clientele to be honest. Life is too short.

Ive changed my shopping pattern, i used to go Friday nights or Saturday mornings. Now i go midweek, normally after eight oclock.
I find that there are no mutants, i suspect that they are already comotosed on white lightning somewhere. The Friday night and Saturday shopping was a nightmare, with pensioners definitely not mute, blocking the aisles and taking the best cuts of fish...why when they have all week to shop.
Mind you Friday nights and Saturdays were more fun, i used to be able to lob a few of those small tins of mackerel (with the key opening) into some pensioners trollies unoticed. Good for them, vitamin D & E and a keeping their minds and fingers active when trying to get the tin open later. The bemused looks on their faces at the till whilst paying for them was a bonus to the weekly outing for me.
I count the midweek after eight shop a success if i can get my reduced sarnies for my pack up the next day.
Very few mutants on my shop thankfully :wink:

Hi, we are back safely with linen and cushions from Dunelm Mills, a new Boombox for my mother from Argos, food and milk from Morrison's. I was going to call in to Aldi's for some wine and soup but that will be have to be tomorrow as we were getting a little weary dodging fit young mums on the hunt for bargains. :)

You might turn into a mutant if you eat supermarket sandwiches. I saw a programme on TV about how they are made - you don't want to know.

Every Thursday, just before 9.00am, I join masses of robed and hooded cranial mutants from afar at our local Aldi branch, doing my best to get to the 49p. Cornish Pasties at the back of the store, before they can knock me off my disability scooter.

A big box of Durex ribbed in old ladies trollies is good for a laugh if you see them at the checkout! :D
