Fat-Ferret 857 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Most of the shops are open again on Boxing day, and the filling station / shop down the road is open to 12 on Xmas day in case you "Forgot anything" Be better if they shut the whole country up for about a week, do the thing right 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 The UK economy is mostly service based, which means that the population has to brainwashed into spending as much money as they can afford, and often a lot more. No matter how strongly I try and resist the general air of 'we must stock up for months in case of ... fill in the blank: snow, siege, global melt down etc etc, I still find myself buying that little bit more food than we actually need for a week. Culture, media: they are all to blame. Kudos to those who go and sit on a mountain for the next week. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 We had to do a bit of shopping last night - just milk, bread etc, nothing special. Shops weren't too bad, which is just as well........the good Lady BB suddenly "remembered" lots of things that we desperately needed, but I could have sworn we'd already got ! She insisted on getting a litre bottle of brandy (which neither of us drink), because "my dad might like a drop". I should point out that the old boy is in hospital, with complications following knee surgery, and will be there until the New Year ! I drew the line at more sprouts..........there will just be the two of us, as usual, but we've got 2 stalks hanging outside, and she wanted to buy frozen ones - "just in case". What possible doomsday scenario would require us to have an emergency supply of Brussels sprouts ???? The milk and bread cost me nearly eighty quid ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Suppose I count myself lucky, the wife doesn't like me going shopping with her, says I'm short tempered and rude, but I just can't stand shopping, the crowds and queues etc. My sole contribution was that a few minutes ago I went to the shed and got the duck out to thaw, and I will make the sausage meat stuffing, and the boxing day stew.
