We have a mole in our nearest large Asda. Got a txt yesterday morning that they had bog rolls, and were opening at 8:00am. I gets there at 07:55 to find a moderate queue. two queues in fact, so I asked the bouncer (yes they now have bouncers) what the other, shorter one, was. "65 and over and vulnerable" "I'm 65" says I, truthfully "In you go mate" says he.
So in I goes, out 10 minutes later, 12 pack of bog rolls, 6 eggs, bag of rice, two tins of tomatoes, in hand, nothing extravagant, here we are trying to run on our normal 7 to 10 days worth of provisions in store.
One good thing about our nearest large Asda, it serves a large Muslim area of immigrants. It has no rice, but the Booze shelves are loaded!!!!!
