OH intended doing the Crimbo grocery shop yesterday but wasn't feeling too well so I said I would do it later when the hussle and bussle had died down.....fat chance! Our local Tesco hypermarket is open 24 hours a day so I duly arrived at 9.00pm to do the shopping.
Out of the thousands of car parking spaces............I couldn't find one, and this is at nine o clock at night!
Sod it says I, I'll go home and come back in the small hours of the morning, that'll sort it!
Duly..........arrived back about half an hour after midnight and the car park was still more than half full!
Inside the shop was still very busy and it looked like a hurricane had swept through the store............floors were manky.........boxes everywhere...........trolleys of new stuff blocking isles and loads of people with the same idea as me. The poor staff were ran off there feet trying to fill shelves as quick as they emptied.
Finished my nightshift shopping foray.............but thank God I've got a year to recuperate before having to do it again.
The world HAS gone mad!
