If you are a wife
and you send your husband to the shops around the end of December for a large meal item usually found in the poultry section, you might want to remind him that Waitrose are unlikely to have any but they have loads in Marks and Spencers.

This will prevent him coming home empty handed, worrying that he has spolit Xmas, and then having to get the train back into town a second time to complete the mission.

Also, remind him that it is best to take his phone so he can get further instructions should the shop you told him to go to in the first instance be a bit wank.

Oh, isn't hindsight a wonderful thing?
"I've got everything from M&S - could you pop onto Sainsbury's and get the sprouts and carrots - I don't want to get those from M&S?"

"Oh, I went to Sainsbury's and got the carrots, but they've run out of sprouts."

"Why didn't you go to M&S? They have loads of sprouts left."

"Because you told me not to. [Aaaaah, special edition Christmas Eve Fucksocks - they're a special kind y'know]"
