    I’d like to know whether Laura put them back on the shelf – in their correct places – after taking that photo.

    Reduced fat appears twice so only ten. Panic over.

    Maybe tweet them your query. They have people who get paid to care.

    The pesto, bizarrely, is in the pasta section. Whod’a thunk it?

    Also, get a life. Just glad you didn’t refer to ‘notions’

    Chickpeas are very cheap
    Houmous is a premium product
    Tesco are gougers
    I’m not good at poetry.

      I find it mad that sushi is a premium product, also. It’s 90% rice, one of the cheapest foods on earth…

            74 percent tested fish found to be mislabled in the states .. fair chance of similar sleights of hand ?

    A) it’s not a sauce
    B) in the states they have hummus abominations like Pumpkin Spice hummus. Cos, America.
    C) if you think it’s a sauce you don’t deserve it.

    Nobody has this complaint with several flavoured jams. Or indeed, coffee bean varieties. Do folk just find things in their supermarket to whinge about?

      I, for one, am thrilled. It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining, I might eat an ice cream, and Papi has his/her keys.

        it is, isn’t it? certainly looks like a summers day out there! hope someone gets a lawnmower out soon can get the smell of fresh cut grass..

        only thing marring it all is the thoughts of poor Seamus Coleman…get well soon Seamus were all rooting for you

        1. mildred st. meadowlark

          Someone is cutting the grass out there as we speak…

          *breathes deeply*

          Ah yes.

          Every time I think of him I clench every muscle in my body and wince.
          Horrendous.

        Funny you should say that. This morning, I couldn’t find my ‘workplace’ keys. Always, always have them in a little zip (100% secure) pocket in my jacket. So I went back home, assuming they were there. Couldn’t find them anywhere. Was thinking, ‘this is a fupping nuisance’, put my hand up to feel jacket pocket – and they were there all the time. So they were actually in the first place I looked. And the last place I looked.

            That brought a tear to my eye.
            My jap’s eye.
            And I’m a women.
            It’s THAT good.

        well they are not hanging from your lower lip or you’d feel the weight of them

      I have a similar story Papi about the time I lost my virginity and then gradually found it again.

        1. bertie blenkinsop

          Don’t I know it, the last time I was inside a woman i was visiting the statue of liberty etc.

      Comment contest winner! And it was a though contest!! Bertie really pushed it up a notch with the virginity comment for it only to be topped by Mildreds suggestion of something rather concerning.

    Why do young get all gushy about things like hummus, gin and tonic, avocado, prosecco and the likes. If it’s a ham and cheeser with a glass of coke it’s on the d low but if it’s any of the above the whole world has to hear about it on instagram #ginoclock #avo #humdogmillionaire

    1. mildred st. meadowlark

      I love, really really love, a nice ham and cheese toastie with a packet of Tayto and a bucket of tay.

          Barry’s. Lyons is but mere watery muck to the deep mahogany timbre of the Barry’s gold blend.

    2. Rugbyfan

      al the more reason to ban such media outlets for those under 30. less whingy posts for all!

    3. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      I love all that stuff (except prosecco as it’s a bit sweet but I won’t say no to it, like) and I’m an aul wan.

      1. Sheik Yahbouti

        That too. :-) Although, I reiterate my dislike of all muck manufactured out of chickpeas and garlic.
