They are getting ready for pan cake day, I see my local supermarket already has eggs, flour, milk and lemon juice on sale.It’s almost as though Christmas is over. Puzzling.

Just add eggs, milk and a pinch of salt...
I have been sitting in the car in Tesco car park waiting for my wife to come out, I am beginning to think I may have missed Christmas. I go back to work on the 4th, I have to keep checking my phone to make sure I don't miss that too.Christmas isn’t for another six days but the local supermarkets have already moved their Christmas displays around, leaving a very small section for wrapping paper, cards etc (ie the “reject” stuff). Last week, they had aisles dedicated to the stuff. It’s almost as though Christmas is over. Puzzling.
Do you think there is a business opportunity for selling a box labelled, "Pancake Mix" but which is empty and a legend that says, "Just add flour, eggs, milk and salt, and mix for a perfect pancake" ?

Xmas ends second weekend of december, they dont carry stock through to next xmas so want it out by the end of this weekend.Christmas isn’t for another six days but the local supermarkets have already moved their Christmas displays around, leaving a very small section for wrapping paper, cards etc (ie the “reject” stuff).

I've never seen one of these repackaged "we're sorry" deliveries before in my life.
That's pretty rare in my experience. I did a stint at Royal Mail reprogramming some of the sorting machines. The ones we worked on had almost a zero damage rate when I was there. Then again, there were some new machines coming in at the time, which I wasn't involved with, so it's possible they brought problems with them.Envelopes do get ripped in the machinery
The worst example of unscrupulous postal workers or at least of someone in the chain I've seen was some years ago when a contact received a smartphone. The parcel looked fine from the top but the bottom of the box had been cut open along the seal and the contents replaced with something, I forget what, to give weight and the box was then resealed. That sort of thing would I imagine be difficult to get away with in a busy workplace so I assume it was done in the van.

I've just got back from shopping, I love late night shopping.
WBMT?
The car park holds several hundred cars, I doubt there was 3 dozen cars in there.
I managed to park quite close anyway, and left a bay spare to my right ( I have wide doors, but would have done that anyway where possible)
I was just getting out and a woman in a BMW X something or other pulled in tight to my LHS.
And obviously struggled to exit the car.
I asked why, with an empty car park did she need to park quite so close and struggle to get out of her car?
She just looked at me, as though I was stupid ....

Was the space she took a bit closer to the shop?I've just got back from shopping, I love late night shopping.

Thinking back I did overtake a BMW X series on the the approaching short dual carriageway.So, maybe parking right next to you was the easy option
No, I was between her and the shop.Was the space she took a bit closer to the shop?
I hear YaIf I am forced to park in a bay next to another car I always look to see if they have a child seat in the back. If they do I move elsewhere........
You must have dared to park near to or even worse in her favourite parking space.Thinking back I did overtake a BMW X series on the the approaching short dual carriageway.
She either was stalking me or p***ed off as I had taken "Her slot"
No, I was between her and the shop.
Had she gone another row forward she could have go a bit closer
and walked 20 seconds instead of 30
I hear Ya
Although I have seen adults opening the car door with their foot!
I'd never even considered the fact that people have preferred spaces.I freely admit we had our preferred spaces in the supermarket car parks (pre Lockdown 2020) , they were at the far end of the car park, as far away from the store as we could to avoid other cars.
We had a yellow weather warning a couple of days ago,Received an alert saying flooding imminent take action.
No sign of any water and the river is only just over its bank in town.
EA river level gauge has it levelling off, who makes these decisions?
If the water level is above the banks in town, then offering an alert everywhere in the area is good sense. There would be no point in offering an alert once the water was three inches deep in your kitchen, would there?Received an alert saying flooding imminent take action.

A guy in the supermarket was wearing a plastic visor, and reaching up underneath it to pick his nose.
It just amazes me how some of the folks out there have managed to last this long. View attachment 303347
Surely it would have been easier if he'd cut a "nose hole"?A guy in the supermarket was wearing a plastic visor, and reaching up underneath it to pick his nose.
This was just one of those cheap D-shaped pieces of cake-box-window plastic with a foam pad and some elastic along the straight edge. If you wear it high on the forehead, it sticks out at about 30°, so plenty of room to get your hand underneath.Surely it would have been easier if he'd cut a "nose hole"?
The ones I use at work fit pretty tight, I'm not sure I could do that
