Without a doubt , The King of supermarket carrier bags, has to be the MORRISON'S variety.

They are so strong.

I tested one tonight in the Catcliffe Branch.

I managed to get in it:

A medium-sized cauliflower
A silverside joint of Australian beef
Several sprouts
Two nice individual parsnips.
A two litre bottle of DOCTOR PEPPER
A 10" basic margherita pizza
Fifteen Braeburn apples
A tin of morrisons baked beans (breakfast variety).
A DVD of Kylie Minogue's greatest hits (Ultimate Kylie)
A pair of aluminium stepladders ( six steps complete with red sticker at the top saying do not stand on top step).

And the handles were intact when I got home.

I take my hat off to them.

Anyone do better?

Can I come for dinner?:D

Netto carier bags you can't beat them,so distictive and strong,who needs anything else??

I especially like them now they're see-through. If you see the old opaque (??!!!) white bags now, they look soooooo old fashioned!

I love Morrsions, they are the best. 2 for 1's and low low prices. And NO, I don't work there!

2:30 on Sunday.

2.30 (tooth hurty) is what we'll all end up with too if you eat ladders!
I hope you are taking steps to avoid this? :hihi:

I am fricaseeing them in an aromatic piecost gravy.

The acompaniment will consist of:

boiled stones and pebbles, in a sedimentary rock pastry ( with igneouos and metamorphic overtones) and finished in Skegness sand.

I'll tell you an embarrasing story now. At school, when it really matters whether you're carrying a "cool" carrier bag, I was walking about with a Netto bag (I'd never heard of Netto at this stage) thinking it was a Benetton bag!! I thought it was just showing the middle bit of the word Benetton! Needless to say, I was soon shown the error of my ways. Doh!

I'm so sorry, Borough girl. It's awful.

NETTO is awful.

Worse than that, even.

Cheap beer and wine, yes, but what about having to put up with the leggings- carpet slippers- soap-dodgers shell-suit, don't- *uck- with-- me- give- me- a-lorry- load of chinese- noodles- brigade.

Oh. and the posh tosh from Dore who pay their motgages by having empty fridges.

around it ., admiring it like.,

Fired!

Shop Worker Sacked For Being Too Nice To customers!

by

Michael Simmonite

Fifty-four year old Elsie Spatchcock is claiming unfair dismissal against her former employers, giant supermarket chain Grotto who she claims sacked her on her first day for being TOO NICE to customers.

“It’s just not fair,” she told us, “I was just trying to do my job.”

According to Grotto, Elsie was dismissed for ‘failing to comply with company policy’. “We have no complaints about Mrs Spatchcock’s work rate,” said a top Grotto boss, “but she failed to follow simple company regulations. She was told about strict company policy at her interview, but then she decided to ignore it.”

Apparently, Elsie had only been sitting at her till for half an hour when she received her first reprimand.

Elsie takes up the story: “I only said good morning to a customer who was struggling to empty a trolley full of baked bean tins.

“I know the standard company greeting in these circumstances is: ‘come on we haven’t got all f***ing day’, but I just couldn’t bring myself to say it. The poor man looked so frail. I felt so sorry for him.”

Elsie was in further hot water when a fat lady wearing leggings and carpet slippers tried to pay for her brimming trolley with a five-pound note. Foolishly, Elsie gave her change instead of asking if she had anything less.

“I couldn’t believe it when I got my first warning just two hours into my new job!”

Elsie was finally relieved of her position twenty minutes before closing time on her first and last day when an unshaven middle aged man came in for a case of vodka and some dog food.

“Instead of saying ‘haven’t you got a home to go to?’ and telling him to ‘**** off’, like a fool I served him.

A spokesman for Grotto said yesterday: “We are proud of our reputation and we don’t want it damaged, so go and jump in the bleedin’ lake.

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

But aren't you confusing GROTTO with FIRST BUS SERVICE?

Low Low prices... Thats Asda price :? :hihi:

I do my shopping at different places.
some from Asda, a lot from morrisons quite a bit from farm foods freezer place,
A little from Lidl,some from co-op, and if i can afford it, tesco on line, sometimes.

Never been the type of person who gets everything from one big shop at the same place.
variety is the spice of life.

Yeh but no but yeh but well I think netto os best.
Stella lager 4 for 2 99 what more do you want???:hihi:

It's just the way the young mothers (in aforementioned leggings) smack their scruffy children REALLY hard whilst shouting at them to"F***ING SHUT IT NOOOOOW!!" that does my head in.

Proceeded by said child screaming for hours and hours and hours and hours, making me want to do the same. Hundreds of mothers and kids all doing the same thing.

And I swear this is my experience of Netto. Cheap, but not cheerful.

Hell thats women for you isn't it,only joking.
I have been to tesco and seen the same thing so netto is no different.
:hihi:
