I am only dimly aware of Morrisons.
I don't like their corporate colourscheme so I would never frequent their establishments. Yes, I am that stupid.

I was just insulting you
by saying that was your regular shop

Hey, Morrison's my local shop
that, and the pound shop.

Shh
don't let Monty hear that. It's not an insult to anyone else, just to him
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:37, Reply)

Speaking of which, I should probably go and do a bit of light shopping.

Short of lights, are you?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:41, Reply)

I might convert some of those cheap champagne flutes into makeshift lampshades

B&Q is good for that
They sell cheap light bulbs.

I found some in my bedside drawer.
SCORE

Result
Not shopping is one of my favourite pastimes.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:43, Reply)

I don't actually need lightbulbs
I need some housemate fuel- aka diet coke. It's practically all she drinks.

And she is unable to buy it for herself because...?

( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:46, Reply)

Because I owe her.
Also, I've promised for her next birthday I'll buy her her weight in it.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:47, Reply)

So if she weighs about 50kg
you're looking at 50l of diet Coke. On a 2x2l for £2.50 deal, that's not much more than £30. Quite a bargain. Unless she's grossly obese.

If you think your pound shop's good, you should check out Elephant and Castle
Last time I frequented the area, the 99p shop was about to receive stiff competition when, on the other side of the complex, I saw a sign that read "Coming soon: 98p shop." No, really.

Oh, 99p st res?
I do love that place. That's what the one near me is. It's also where I got my garish lizard. My sister stayed in my room over a weekend, she hated it so much.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:41, Reply)

Elephant & Castle is known as 'the 99p area'
Cancer Joy once had me in fits telling of the 99/98p price wars in Glasgow, and posting some of their nonsensical shelf-edge advertising cards.

I HEARD THAT.

You have successfully insulted me.
I hope you're happy now.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:38, Reply)

Absolutely
I also advise you to buy yourself a suit from the market
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 13:41, Reply)

I may get some counterfeit track-wear whilst I am about it.

You're finding your feet
in this strange new world. Don't forget the gold chains for a paaaund

'Goldique', hopefully
