# One day these supermarkets will realise that Men do the shopping too (and pay for it all anyway ina lot of cases)

# This is true
I do the shopping because I spend significantly less than Mrs B. does if she were to go, mainly because I only buy what we need, I don't wander around like a confused cuckoo looking for shiny things

# I do the shopping too.
On the internet. Even with delivery charge, I still save because we don't make impulse purchases.

# But how do you know if you're getting apples that aren't bruised?

# Silly.
Fruit and veg comes from a greengrocers, not a supermarket.

Although they tend to give you the good stuff anyway, as if it's unsatisfactory you just send it back with the driver and it ends up costing them money to transport it to you.

# Greengrocers?
They still have them where you live then?

# Yes,

# Obviously a very special part of England

# Funnily enough,
no.

There are butchers and greengrocers all over the place. People are just to lazy to go to them.

# I'm just pulling your leg
but it is a fact that I don't know where my nearest greengrocer's might be. Ho hum.

# Ironically
it's rural areas that have suffered the most. Big cities and towns are teaming with greengrocers. Every town covered market will have at least one, for example.

# Exactly!
I have a basket of what I need. A woman has a basket of what she needs, plus a few random Davis Schwimmer DVDs, take a break magazine, a bottle of wine, the new coldplay album and an x-factor workout video.

# That's exactly why
they're not advertising to get you into the shop!

(It's magpies that are obsessed with shiny things - cuckoos throw eggs out of other birds' nest and dump their own in there. They don't even do CRB checks before they drop the eggs off, FFS.)
