I had a friend who worked in the Brains Faggots factory. She said she would never consider eating one...
If she would have described them as cheap and lousy, she needs to contact The Pogues.

Wonder if they thought back in 1973 it would be still played and earning a shed load for them nearly 50 years later?
If they did or didn't, Jim Lea said on one of those documentaries that it was his mother-in-law's idea. She was listening to "White Christmas" on the radio and said to Jim "why don't you do a Christmas song, it will get played every year".

Whether this is entirely accurate I'm not sure as there are different stories out there as is the case with rock history, but it's the one I like 🙂.

People who don't stack their shopping neatly on the conveyor. Worse still, the people who don't put the 'Next Customer' Toblerone down.

I shop in Aldi, getting the shopping onto the conveyor, prior to it being your turn to pack the shopping is in itself a feat.

Every so often I go to Sainsbury’s to buy Merkel passata and chorizo and I love the leisurely way the checkout runs, just not enough to overspend on shopping weekly.

Billy has always despised men who go to supermarkets! :)

Lidl is the same, No to to pack the shopping at all, Must be the German way I guess, You go into, like you say Sainsbury's and you have more room to pack your shopping.

You put it all back into the trolley and go to the packing area
