Never been a fan of 'shopping' dunno how anyone sees it as a pleasure activity...unless of course if its for stuff that interests me like bike stuff, walking/camping stuff, particularly hate food and clothes shopping....its online all the way for me

Yesterday I realised I ran out of shaving foam and I needed a shave. Now you can put this down to bad planning on my part but I have the following options:

a) Wait until Saturday until Mrs DW and I go to town
b) Order online and wait a day or two. But I need to order a load of other stuff too, you can't just buy that
c) Grow a beard
d) Go and get some

I went with D. A&B mean I'll be irritated for the whole week and C is not an option as I'll look terrible.

I do my main shop online but I do use the local shops a fair bit and online isn't always viable.

Ray, "corner shops" are not a thing any more, they don't exist.

Great corner shop near me - sells literally everything.

Edit - including shaving foam

I meant in the civilised world, not the wilds of North Staffs where anything goes.

North, fucking north!?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm south, you're north of me. These are the facts.

 

[Tredman]

What does that make Johnny? The wild man of the north?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No comment.

Darlo and Aiki are in trouble here...

Corner shops everywhere aren't there?........edit, our corner shop is more central down our road

 

[Tom Hark]

Everywhere. Even garages are corner shops now.

Are we talking Tesco express corner shops or a shop that splits multipacks and sells them individually?

It doesn't matter, neither variety is ever busy in my experience.

There’s a Morrison’s within 400 yards of my front door. I end up in there on the way home from work most days. At weekends it’s the seventh circle of hell though.

No trouble for us up here... We don’t live in bloody Stoke!

Johnny, I'll stand side by side with you in any argument, you know that, but I'm not touching that one

 

[Boozad]

I spend plenty of my time out shopping screaming at people in my head

Oh come on where you live they still drink the blood of their young.

Nah, we don't need to. Up here we just pop to the corner shop and buy a can of coke!
